**Desertification in Mongolia**

Mongolia is a country, which experiences serious drought and desertification. More than 40% of the territory is composed of arid and dessert areas. There are estimates that 90% of Mongolia’s territory is vulnerable to desertification and about70% is already degraded to varying extents. Desertification is characterized by-(i) desertification of vegetation cover, (ii) desiccation of wetland ecosystems and (iii) increase of sand areas. Causes of desertification can be divided into two categories. i.e., natural causes and anthropogenic causes.

Researchers estimate that only 13% of the desertification is caused by natural factors whereas anthropogenic factors have contributed to rest 87%.Among the major cases are mentioned climatic variations which may lead to natural disasters that. Through interaction with human factors, will lead to accelerated degradation at local level. For instance desertification in the Gobi ecological zone is reported as being caused primarily by increasing aridity of climate and grazing impacts associated with livestock. The anthropogenic causes are overgrazing, wind and water erosion of cultivated soils and abandoned farmlands, intentional burning and vehicle tracks.
