UNDP aids Mongolian women herders.
(WNN) MONGOLIA: A herder woman milks her yaks in Must, Khovd Province, Mongolia. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) works to empower herder groups in Must — many now develop their own land-use plans, conservation maps and sustainable practices for water, forest and pasture management. These new methods improve the herders’ livelihoods while protecting the biodiversity of the region.
