Mongolia is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events including droughts, flash flooding and harsh winters. In addition, unsustainable agriculture and development practices are accelerating the deterioration of the country’s land and water resources and associated ecosystem services. The project will target two eco-regions, the Altai Mountain/Great Lakes Basin and the Eastern Steppe, and aims to maintain the water supplies of the mountain and steppe ecosystems. As a first step, the project plans to provide strategic guidance for development sectors. The National Government and Provincial Governments will then adopt the completed strategies as formal policy to guide future resource management decisions. The project will focus upon better tactics for grazing management, restoration of riparian zones, survivability of biodiversity, and efficiency of water use. Success will be measured by how well community-level implementation improves the overall integrity of water provisioning services within each watershed relevant to climate change challenges. An ecosystem-planning program will be established within each watershed to guide implementation and coordinate future resource management decision-making.
