Photo by @katieorlinsky in Uvs Mongolia. Ghengis Khan’s unlikely secret weapon for invading and conquering was recently discovered by scientists to be rain. Needless to say a lot has changed in today’s Mongolia.
This past January I had the opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream of traveling to Mongolia, however I wish the reason why was under different circumstances. I was there with the aid organization @iamcaritas to document yet another "Dzud”- an emergency related to extreme weather conditions where severely cold winters kill off millions of livestock, and devastate the livelihood and already fragile way of life for nomadic herders. The temperatures this past January were around -58, cold enough for animals to freeze or starve because they can’t graze. However the most troubling element of the "dzud" happens in the ever increasing heat and drought of the summer. Animals are now struggling to gain the weight they need to endure the brutal winter: “We used to have four seasons, but now we only have three…June, July, and August were warm and with rain. Different types of grass would grow, and the animals would get fat. Now, we have no rain and the wind dries up the grass. It is not what it used to be.” You can see more photos and read the full story on the NatGeo website. Link in bio for @katieorlinsky.
