The video discusses the challenges faced by Mongolia's nomadic herders due to desertification, economic growth, and climate change. The Gobi desert's expansion and illegal mining activities threaten the fragile ecosystem. Global demand for cashmere wool exacerbates erosion, while climate change leads to less rain and more drought. Despite these challenges, a third of Mongolia's population remains nomadic, preserving their cultural identity. The government seeks solutions, but many fear it's too late to save this traditional way of life.
