Green Gold-Mongolian Rangeland Research Center

From 2004 to 2020, our team worked under the Green Gold - Animal Health Project of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), focusing on the following areas: rangeland management, improving herder livelihoods, strengthening value chains, increasing livestock productivity, introducing innovative rangeland technologies, establishing a national rangeland monitoring network, advancing rangeland carbon management, providing training, and implementing best practice standards for sustainable rangeland use.

From 2022 to 2025, we continued these efforts under the Mongolian National Federation of Pasture User Groups (MNFPUG). Building on this experience, we founded the Green Gold - Mongolian Rangeland Research Center in 2025 as an independent, non-governmental, non-profit organization. Our organization is committed to improving social well-being, enhancing herder livelihoods, and reducing rangeland degradation. With a professional team, strong organizational values, and a results-driven approach, we are striving to become a leading and innovative NGO in this sector.

In recent years, we have implemented over 10 projects aimed at combating rangeland degradation. Through these initiatives, the Responsible Nomads – Code of Practice for Sustainable Development has been fully implemented among 7,000 herder households across 15 soums, and partially implemented among 10,000 herder households in 10 soums.

Our ultimate goal is to reduce rangeland degradation by increasing herder incomes and strengthening value chains through the implementation of the Responsible Nomads standard, which promotes sustainable development and responsible livestock production.
