How do many people in rural Mongolia make a living?

Many people in rural Mongolia make a living primarily through traditional pastoralism, herding livestock such as sheep, goats, camels, and yaks. This nomadic lifestyle allows them to adapt to the harsh climate and utilize vast grasslands for grazing. In addition to herding, some engage in agriculture, particularly in the more fertile regions, and others may participate in small-scale handicrafts or trade. Tourism has also begun to play a role in providing income, as visitors seek authentic experiences in the Mongolian countryside.
