Mongolia is still one of the most pristine countries in all of Asia, if not the world.  Sadly, it is now facing an environmental crisis that threatens most of its countryside. An already dire situation is made all the more serious because Mongolia is a landlocked, arid country, with a severe continental climate and a very fragile environment.  Some of the more drastic problems now stretch well beyond Mongolia’s borders, affecting nearby ecosystems. In recent years, changes in local climate and the desertification of the Gobi Desert have shown that the problems Mongolia faces are no longer regional, but often global in nature. For example, not long ago California was affected by a yellow dust storm that originated in the Gobi Desert, drifted across China, Korea and Japan, and then eventually reached the United States.
