Video | How Expanding Mines are Shrinking Pastoral Lands in the Gobi

https://youtu.be/wrmCq3tf778

In Mongolia’s Gobi region, a woman herder exposes how expanding mines have hemmed in herder families, with four to five mining sites operating within a single kilometer. As waste is dumped directly onto key grazing areas right next to their homes, herders are left with nowhere to graze their livestock or move freely. Aligned with the RED LINE initiative, the herder's story highlights the urgent need to legally protect seasonal pastures and transhumance routes from competing land use to safeguard pastoral access and survival.
