Abstract

Since 2017, climate change, particularly constant drought, has made it difficult for livestock to survive on grasslands without forage provided by their owners. Consequently, many herders either sell their livestock at low prices or purchase additional forage for their animals during certain seasons. Some, however, have decided to move to agricultural land to survive. This video depicts Tsevegjav who catches his horse herds and transports them with a large truck to the suburbs of Hejing County, a place closer to the city centre where forage is more easily accessible.
