蒙古牧民借助卫星技术守护草原生态
Across Mongolia’s vast steppes, semi-nomadic herders have long read the land through instinct and ancestral knowledge. Yet worsening climate extremes and overgrazing have made it harder to predict pasture health. Now, a quiet revolution is taking hold: the country’s legendary horseback riders are turning to satellites to safeguard their way of life.
The Pasture Monitoring System, developed by Mongolia’s National Remote Sensing Center with international partners, delivers weekly satellite-based vegetation maps directly to herders’ smartphones. Using a simple color-coded app, a herder can see whether next month’s grazing area is thriving green or turning brittle brown, allowing them to move livestock before a crisis hits.
