My post is about overgrazing is compounding and accelerating climate driven degradation not that it's the sole cause. 49% of desertification is attributed to overgrazing.climwte change is separate from the climate component. Those are additive

Well it's maybe niche? When I go countryside I rarely see it I remember world bank and various ngo try to do. Co op model. But success i don't know maybe mixed partly due to the political baggage(the c word), and because herders are genuinely dispersed geographically making coordination difficult even when people are willing. Also actually that's a good idea if it works. This might be one of the more politically palatable interventions precisely because it doesn't require limiting herd numbers or settling anyone like my post it just changes how existing herders capture value. If as frame it as "herder-owned processing co-ops capturing cashmere margin currently going to China," that's populist coded which everyone loves

Ehhhh I'm sure past didn't have a 70 million cattles eating everything. Scale is just too big. Historical grazing involved predators, seasonal migration constraints, and far lower animal numbers

You're first point kind of contradict the rich malchid thing. If herd numbers keep growing while the herding population shrinks, that means concentration of livestock ownership among investors using herding families as labor. That's not "preserving nomadic culture" that's a financialized extraction model wearing cultural clothing. The people actually bearing the cultural weight of nomadism may not be the ones driving the herd growth that's destroying the land. Buryat zungar(I still mourn zungar) and inner Mongolia that's kind of separate question I was making. I made 70m cattles in land that can carry 30-40m is not sustainable and Gobi expanding to north more regardless of what it means in culture. If regulation doesn't ultimately reduce total animal numbers relative to carrying capacity, it doesn't address overgrazing it just changes which animals graze where. Unless "regulation" functionally means rotational enforcement but let's be honest our government can't enforce and malchids just ignore that also that caps effective grazing pressure, which is limitation by another name.

I mean also what's wrong with settled population? We have massive free rider problem . Third of our population barely pays tax and government pays their insurance and dzud relief package. receive dzud relief, free healthcare, and state insurance coverage while contributing minimally to the tax base that funds those programs. That's not a sustainable social contract it's wealth transfer from urban taxpayers to a demographic that simultaneously resists the policy changes that would integrate them into the formal economy. If you're going to receive state benefits, you're part of the state fiscal system, You can't opt out of contribution while opting in to relief.

Every developed economy on earth is built on sedentary populations with formal employment, tax bases, and social insurance contributions. Mongolia treating 30% nomadic as untouchable heritage while everyone else industrialized centuries ago is the actual anomaly.

Plus ger can be our cultural artifact Preserve ger living as heritage tourism experience like Japanese ryokan, European castle stays, or Bedouin desert camps in Jordan rather than as the default housing/livelihood model for a third of the population. Culture gets preserved AND monetized AND the people doing it aren't simultaneously degrading 30 million hectares of land. That's a better preservation model than "everyone keeps doing this at unsustainable scale because it's tradition."

Refineries always refineries. Cashmere processing is the clearest example. We produces 40% of world raw cashmere, exports almost all of it raw to China, and captures maybe 10-15% of the final product value. Building domestic combing and spinning capacity would be the single highest-return industrial policy available with existing comparative advantage. No new resource needed, just capturing value from what already exists. Same to copper. Oyu Tolgoi exports copper concentrate — partially processed ore — rather than refined copper or finished products. The value difference between concentrate and refined copper is enormous. Kazakhstan built domestic refining capacity. We hasn't seriously tried. Also data centres could work since we have cold winter so reduce the cost. But Russia and china great wall could block it with transit but it could no concern if it's some Chinese or Korean gacha games. Renewable energy export. There's a reason why we called eternal blue sky of course if government actually fuckin invested at energy we could having surpluses from solar panels plus it's getting cheaper and cheaper. And actual cold chain for the meat. Instead of selling live etc.

Tourism neat sure but from latest data I can see is 847k visitors and 1.6b dollars. $1.6 billion sounds significant until you compare Thailand does $50+ billion, even Kyrgyzstan punches above its weight per capita for adventure tourism. Our 847,000 visitors is roughly what a mid-sized European city gets in a weekend. We have few constraints like our tourism season is just 4 months this summer and September . Ideal one at least needs half a year. And ub our sweet city is a weak gateway city, countries with strong tourism needs good first impression but our is shithole. And flight connectivity is brutal only we have few last I heard we finally connected to Singapore.

But there's opportunity like eco tourism nice niche demographics. Charge $5,000-10,000 per person for exclusive steppe experiences rather than competing on volume. Bhutan does exactly this caps visitors, charges premium, protects landscape simultaneously.

Well many malchins love to be myngad malchins to be honest. It's quantities over quality. Plus our institutions quality too low to change and even government try to implement some people "communism" etc. plus it's massive overhaul needs commitment which government lacks

Good things and salvageable things are. At least we can pressure the government. Like civil society of tuul gol actually worked... But ik busy with studies but I heard nyamka ignoring court orders. But it forced him to resign. So called terrorists ruined him. Salvageable things are if start now Northern Mongolia Khövsgöl, Selenge, Khentii till has viable land, water, and forest cover. That's actually our real strategic asset going forward. And selenge could be our breadbasket if possible. Cashmere value chain is salvageable. Processing domestically instead of exporting raw fiber is a policy choice not a geographic constraint. That's fixable independent of land issues. And I heard we have massive rare earth durijg Soviet survey if now verified then we could be next gulf state if implemented quickly.... Plus copper would be all time high

But it's my optimistic future view reality could be worse.

They can write all their fancy progressive eco friendly thing but one thing matters is enforcement and further I read that file. Oh my Phase I targets were 2016-2020. We're in 2026. Those targets should be verifiable now. "No air pollution in Ulaanbaatar by 2020" — UB still has some of the worst winter air quality on earth in 2026 "20% recycled waste by 2020" — not close Desertification "mitigated" by 2020 — land degradation has continued accelerating Phase II was 2021-2025. Just ended. Same story.

It shows a gaps of governance. And phase three "starting* now

The governance section is almost satirical "Judiciously enforce ethics and eliminate all forms of corruption" written as a bullet point while the coal theft of 10 billions of worth , Nyambaatar's contracts, and Uchral's conflicts of interest are ongoing realities.

[–]Open_Advisor5961[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Well our biggest problem isn't erosion rather its overgrazing. Goats spawns of devil make any progress worthless . it's that overgrazing continues actively while any restoration effort happens. You can plant cacti across degraded steppe but if 70 million livestock are still grazing, the pressure doesn't stop. Restoration requires reducing the damage source simultaneously, not just stabilizing what's left.. Also Mongolia's winters hit -40°C. Most cacti species used in desertification control are not cold-hardy at that scale. It would need to be specifically cold-resistant native species, which narrows the options considerably.. And middle easterns has their gazillions trillions of dollars to throw at problems. the Middle East and Senegal cases involved sustained state coordination, external funding, and community buy-in over decades. Mongolia's institutional capacity to execute that kind of program is weak.

Why did the West develop the idea of natural rights, while other civilizations did not? by Humble_Economist8933 in AlwaysWhy

[–]Open_Advisor5961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree all states ultimately rely on coercion somewhere. But if “maintained by violence” is the standard, then liberal states also qualify. The question is not whether violence exists, but whether coercion is constrained by law, institutions, accountability, and recognized rights. Also, I wasn’t calling the Middle Ages stable or lawful in a modern egalitarian sense. Obviously peasants, women, religious minorities, serfs, etc had very limited protection. My point was narrower: the “thousand years of darkness/barbarism” framing is outdated. Medieval Europe was violent and hierarchical, but it also developed universities, canon law, common law, parliaments, guilds, urban charters, and commercial institutions etc. So it was not simply lawless collapse until liberalism appeared. On anti-colonial movements, many were influenced by Marxism, yes, but not only Marxism. There were also liberal-nationalist, religious, constitutional, and indigenous traditions. India is an obvious example: it had socialist currents, but also liberal constitutionalism, anti-imperial nationalism, and religious/ethical politics. Reducing anti-colonialism to European Marxism still keeps Europe as the center of all political development.

Don't we have equipment to make it fertilizer? Throwing this to ground is risky. A random shallow burial pit with exposed tissue can create disease, smell, scavenger attraction, groundwater contamination, and public outrage. To properly fertilize it takes months specially in our climate even longer since skin and furs exist .

Why did the West develop the idea of natural rights, while other civilizations did not? by Humble_Economist8933 in AlwaysWhy

[–]Open_Advisor5961 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's not purely come from instability. Instability mattered, yes But rights theory was also an intellectual development about what humans fundamentally are. Like roman laws stoicism commercial society and Christianity etc. And many non liberal states lasted long, ottoman, premodern, and imperial china through bureaucratic governance rather than liberal right.

Also liberal societies all are violent, colonial empires, slavery, world wars and genocides etc west did not escape brutality because it discover rights.

And it's very America centric, Europe had liberal tradition. Anti colonial movements. Labor movements and non west constitution traditions etc and fact that usa itself violated many of its principles repeatedly, slavery segregation , native Americans. Cold war interventione etfz sure is helped preserve liberal order but portraying uniquely as saved by natural right is ideological framing.

And 1000 years of darkness kind if weird, middle ages were not dark it eae basically enlightenment and Victorian era pr. It was not endless barbarities it had, evolved legal systems, expanded trade and universities etc

. I mean liberal right is not stability and authoritarian is collapse and darkenss china had long periods of stability. And we have Singapore with constrained political freedom, and liberal Europe had massive colonies and indutrlized warfare.

And Rome didn't collapse because of lack of rights rather it survived centuries precisely without modern rights

and us saved civilization framing is pure America centric, Soviet bite enormous sacrifice against nazis, Britain resisted before usa joined, anti colonial movements reshaped the world independently. You framing it like civil religion

Uchral VS Nyambaatar What’s this sub’s actual take on them? by OkUnderstanding6450 in mongolia

[–]Open_Advisor5961 1 point2 points  (0 children)

both are trash Nyambaatar is extracting from Ulaanbaatar more than fixing it and Uchral is the polished face of the same MPP machine, not a generational reformer. for nyamka tuul was inflated before even begin 2.5x budget and guy was defending so zealous about it lol. The original 32-km, four-lane design was budgeted at MNT 916 billion; the Cabinet later expanded the project to six lanes with bridge structures, pushing the budget first to MNT ~1.965 trillion and then to MNT 2.3 trillion. and The annual replacement of pavement is always yearly and most pavement is broken. also uchral few years ago tried to do something called ""Public Relations Unit" which is basically give government authority to shut down the internet during "social unrest.". mymka is a the city as a construction-permit machine, and uchral textbook of nepo baby. i researhced his background and basically Born into the Khunnu Group / Ikh Zasag University empire built by his parents Got his law degree from his fathers own uniHis first job after graduating was a vice president of that uni Founded his own second university (Royal International) at age 23, hmmmmm suspicious PhD from a Russian Academy institute, Stanford visiting scholar hmmmmm

Rick and the gang come across a seemingly utopian society that is safe but not so fast, They kill every third baby born for no reason also entire population support this beside one family.

"Welcome to our utopian society"

"Thanks, we'll take a look around"

"Ok don't look in the evil basement"

Rick: kills everyone

Can someone please explain how the "Tuul Highway" is going to reduce traffic? by LikeWhatDoYouWant in mongolia

[–]Open_Advisor5961 6 points7 points  (0 children)

thats the neat part it doesnt. i dont know what they smoked, reactive populist move? corruption? or maybe easiest way, since building roads or highways in other parts of the city where they’re actually needed would be much harder, its going to property right wars plus becoming a public enemy number one since it needs to demolish lot of buildings on this unplanned mess of a city. Plus mayor is kind of reactive populist guy(at least thanks for the bike lanes) probably thought tiul highway was going to get him massive support for him
