A local herder with his Bactrian camels crossing the dunes of the Gobi desert in Mongolia in beautiful morning light. I spent a few days here earlier this year. #mongolia#photography#dunes#desert#travel
@djflore@motungator How funny, I am reading “Großer Tiger und Christian” with my son at the moment (one of absolutely favourite books as a child- you probably know it too?). Last night they started encountering tricky sand dunes - Barchane - in the #Gobi desert. And just this morning this toot with your wonderful pictures appears in my timeline! True serendipity 😊
@sdosremedios This brings me to a stand still, the view and imagining the animals portrayed grazing or galloping across that plain....damn skippy...beautiful
Spent most of the work day today going over the line-up of pieces that we have for the November issue of #MekongReview. It’s looking to be a pretty cool magazine: we’ve got pieces on/from #NorthKorea, #Mongolia, #Kashmir, #Singapore, #HongKong, and more. 🥰
Mongolia has signed one of the largest climate finance agreements in Asia to date, dramatically expanding Mongolia's National Protected Area network and providing a blueprint for other countries around the world.
"Dzuds, a peculiar slow-onset disaster unique to #Mongolia, are extreme winters characterized by freezing temperatures, heavy snow and ground so frozen that animals cannot reach pasture.
This winter, the dual “white” and “iron” #dzud is marked by a very deep snow cover preventing animals from accessing grass (white dzud) combined with a short thaw and subsequent hard freeze that locks up pastures in ice (iron dzud)."
