Community-based conservation protecting the elusive snow leopard across the mountains of Central Asia.

A package that pulls the coal stove out of a Mongolian ger and replaces it with an electric heater, ventilation and insulation is now keeping smoke out of more than 2,300 homes.

Breathe Mongolia is a volunteer-founded coalition using air quality data and advocacy to fight Ulaanbaatar's severe coal-smoke pollution.

A 16-year Swiss-backed program organized Mongolian herders into pasture-user groups that rested millions of hectares of overgrazed steppe back to health.

When Mongolia's weather service flags a killer dzud winter, the Red Cross wires cash to herder families before the snow, and studies found it doubled the odds they saved their horses.

Where winter drops below -30C and the Mongolian word for toilet is itself taboo, Local Solutions has helped install 1,150 dry toilets and opened the country's first Toilet Education Center on World Toilet Day 2025.
