Young people help preserving gazelles
Video
Due to draughts in most parts of the country this year, a huge number of gazelle has died of thirst. Therefore, the proactive youngsters of “Dorniin Ikh Gegee” and “Tomo Building” LLCs have built four pools in the steppe.
The pools that were built by sheer willingness of these men in Dornod Aimag, an area with high number of gazelle herds have a capacity of preserving 120 tons of water. The main herd of gazelles migrates in Mongolia. Although gazelles totaled 5 million back in 1970, the number reduced down to 3 million in 2010. Aside from natural disasters, such as draughts, dzud (severe winter) and diseases, illegal hunts are drastically decreasing the population. As a result, the herds that consisted of 20-30 thousand individuals 20 years ago are now migrating with groups of only 30-40 individuals.
