| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The zoo-meteorological aspect of Traditional Herding Knowledge (THK) was documented in collaboration with the Institute of Meteorology, Hydrology and Environment of Mongolia (IMHE) in order to apply this knowledge to mitigate natural disasters, and to help strengthen the sustainability of the herders’ society in Mongolia.
THK of the winter camp selection were investigated using meteorological and animal observations, while that of the production of fermented mare’s milk was collected from 2045 herders across the entire country. The framework of new zoo-meteorological observations were established under this research project and maintained by IMHE. We have hosted the international symposium on THK at Ulaanbaatar in March, 2015, and the results of this four-year project were summarized and future challenges are presented.
