Abstract
The project goal is to produce a book presenting current environmental and pastoral livelihood research in Mongolia. The chapters will summarize research and present results in an accessible, non-academic format to be understandable to a general audience. Writing style, presentation, and contents will be non-scientific. Chapters will be in English and Mongolian, approximately 1500 words in length and accompanied by explanatory pictures and figures. The target audience is government policy makers, local officials, international organizations, Mongolian university students and researchers, and interested citizens. An accessible approach will maximize relevance to a broad Mongolian and international readership. The book will focus on recent study, concentrating on post-graduate research that has previously been presented in academic theses, fora and journals but have not been targeted to non-scientific and Mongolian readers. The theme is current research on environmental processes and pastoral livelihoods in rural Mongolia with the goal being to communicate how physical and social forces interact on the steppe.
