Great story of one of the recipients of this year’s prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize, Ts. Munkhbayar of Mongolia.

Mining is a huge industry in Mongolia and supports many people in good ways – but rampant unregulated mining has also been a huge problem on a number of fronts, notably environmental. Mongolia’s lifeblood, for fishing and livestock, is the fresh waterways – and it is great to see the Onggi River Movement making amazing progress to preserve it.
