Overview

The REMM ream is empowering Mongolian pastoralists to adapt to climate change by creating a system to monitor and manage rangeland health. With pastoralists, they are developing indicators and conducting training in community-based adaptive ecosystem management.

Objectives

1. Develop and pilot test holistic rangeland ecosystem monitoring indicators 2. Train herders, conservation practitioners, government agency staff, and researchers in current formal rangeland assessment and monitoring approaches 3. Develop an integrated monitoring plan and database framework
