What was once lush pasture, farmed by nomadic tribesmen for centuries, has now been eradicated by desertification. In thirty years, sands that have blown across Mongolia by seasonal wind, have eaten more than two million hectares of Mongolian grassland. Al Jazeera's Tony Cheng, discovers why, for many Mongolians, the traditional way of life is no longer possible.

  • This is sooo sad. The reporter states that "desertification is a threat to the nomadic lifestyle", while it is, more correctly, a threat to all life on this planet. Read up on the rate of desertification in the world for the past decades and you will realise that the entire globe is turning into a desert.

    Pure magic.
