SITE CONDITIONS (cont)<br />

Mongolia has a popul<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

of about 4 – 5 million.<br />

About 1 million live in the<br />

capital, Ulaanba<strong>at</strong>ar, there<br />

are another 4 or 5 regional<br />

cities and the remainder of<br />

the popul<strong>at</strong>ion live the<br />

nomadic rural life th<strong>at</strong> is<br />

centuries old.<br />

There are no rural fences. All appears to be “common” land where stock (horses,<br />

pp ( ,<br />

sheep, go<strong>at</strong>s and camels) are grazed. There must be farms of some sort as trucks<br />

bring vegetables into Ulaanb<strong>at</strong>aar daily but I didn’t see any farms.
