General North Asia country, about the size of Alaska, between China and Russia. This land locked desert country is know for harsh winters, high winds, and very little rain fall. About 2.5 million people live in Mongolia. Buddhism is the primary religion. The economic system is based on agriculture and livestock. Nomads Only about 40 percent of the population continue to live traditional nomadic lifestyle tending more than 33 million livestock. Animal husbandry remains a backbone of the national economy, providing 20 percent of the world's fine cashmere production. The nomads' life changed very little since old days, except that nomadic herders prefer to use sometimes motorbikes or "iron horses" rather than live ones. Mongolia remains the last refuge of the pastoral nomadism, preserving and continuing the rich traditional culture of Huns, Scythians and Tartars - all those nomadic nations that passed though history. (From Mongolia Today Magazine) Climate "The climate in Mongolia is full of extremes. Sudden changes from heat to cold, from summer to winter are amazing and hard to bear..." wrote Roy Chapman Andrews, an American paleontologist who ventured to wilderness of the Gobi Desert back in 20s. Indeed, temperatures may fall by 30 degrees not only in a season but also within a fortnight. Distance from seas and considerable elevation over the sea level makes the climate very dry. Mongolia lies right between the southern edge of eternal glaciers and northernmost boundaries of deserts.
