Ulaanbaatar Public Library

            Mongolia is on the verge of a significant expansion in mining in response to increasing worldwide demands for energy and minerals. An important challenge for Mongolia is to manage threats to the sustainability of herder livelihoods that result from environmental impacts of mining. Isabel explores the potential of GIS and ethnographic techniques to assess the impacts of mining on herders in Mongolia. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in two distinct mining towns and ecologies (Sharyn Gol and Tsogttsetsii) Isabel examines the pressing social and environmental issues that threaten herder livelihoods in Mongolia today.

This research is funded by Australian AID through the Australian Development Research Awards Scheme.
