For 3,000 years, Mongolians have lived in the rural areas, adopting a pastoral way of life, moving in the search of
new pastures. They depend largely on their livestock for a living and sustain themselves with what they can get
from the land. Today, approximately half of Mongolia’s population is still roaming the vast plains living in the ger
and moving their camping several times a year. Nomadic life thrives in summer and survives in winter. When
temperatures are warm, they work hard on their farms to get milk and make lairage, consuming meat from their
sheep and goats. Once winter comes, temperatures dip extremely low and they stay indoors and survive on horse
meat.
With the rise of technology, changes in the Mongolian nomadic lifestyle are almost inevitable. While they still
lead their lifestyle as pastoral herders, many use motorbikes to herd cattle and horses. To move their homes, trucks
have taken the place of ox carts. Solar panels are also becoming an addition to the ger, giving them access to

phones.
