Gender imbalance in Mongolian herding households www.news.mn

Herding in Mongolia is often seen as “male” activity, with men much more often defined as the “main herder” in household surveys. But over 80 percent of women in herding households report participating in animal husbandry activities, reporting about two-thirds as many minutes per day as men.
Mongolians usually demand their male offspring to help them with herding, while they send their daughters to school. Therefore, Mongolian women are generally better educated than Mongolian men, having an average of 11 years of schooling compared to 10 years for men. Rural women have relatively low levels of education (about a quarter of have completed high school), even if they have more education than rural men.
The resulting gender imbalance is clear. In 2021, 1.6 times more women than men were enrolled in Mongolia’s universities. After becoming highly educated and accustomed to city life, many are reluctant to return to the isolation, hard work and unpredictable income of a nomadic, rural life. Consequently, it has become harder for herder men to find wives, and researchers have begun raising concerns about the long-term impact of this bride shortage on Mongolia’s traditional values and agricultural sector.

Booming business returns to China-Mongolia border areas www.xinhuanet.com

HOHHOT, Feb. 15 (Xinhua) -- With unbridled excitement, Ulantuya, who hails from Mongolia, indulged in a shopping spree at a bustling mall in Erenhot, a major city on the China-Mongolia border.
"There is a great variety of products here. I will surely take many of them home," said Ulantuya, surrounded by a swarm of Mongolian merchants and customers.
Border cities like Erenhot have seen booming business and greater people-to-people exchanges since cross-border travel resumed between China and its neighbors on Jan. 8, as part of the country's optimized COVID-19 response.
Zhang Yuan, who has been running a leather goods shop at the mall for 12 years, was delighted to have Mongolian merchants back. "As I reconnected with old friends, warm greetings were exchanged, and our handshakes lingered just a tad longer than usual," Zhang said.
Statistics from the commerce department of China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region showed the Erenhot highway port has recorded a daily average of about 600 passenger trips since Jan. 8. The port also handled 1.42 million tonnes of cargo in January, up 98.2 percent year on year.
Ceke Port, located in Alxa League in Inner Mongolia, is an important cross-border channel for mineral products transportation.
At a worksite in Ceke, Mongolian containers brimming with coal were hoisted onto waiting trucks before being shipped to various corners of China.
According to the regional department of commerce, inbound and outbound cargo volume at Ceke Port increased by 105,000 tonnes in January compared with December.
In Ganqmod Port, the largest highway port on the China-Mongolia border, trucks loaded with copper powder, coal and other mineral products were seen lining up to enter China.
With an impressive five-fold surge in the volume of goods handled since the start of 2023, cross-border trade is off to a roaring start at the bustling port, said Hecheltu, deputy director of the management committee of the Ganqmod Port.
Boldoo, a truck driver from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, has transported mineral products between China and Mongolia for eight years, mainly via Ganqmod Port.
"The port has seen an increasing number of trucks coming from Mongolia over the past month," said Boldoo. "I now earn 6,000 yuan (about 876.6 U.S. dollars) a month by making two trips every week. My family's life has greatly improved since I began this job."

Oldest fossil record of larval neuropterans found in Inner Mongolia www.phys.org

A team of paleontologists at the Shenzhen Campus of Sun Yat-sen University, working with a colleague from the State Key Laboratory of Cellular Stress Biology, both in China, has identified the oldest known fossil record of larval neuropterans.
In their paper, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the group describes the fossil, a giant dragon lacewing larvae unearthed at the dig site Daohugou Beds, in Inner Mongolia, China.
Lacewings are a type of type of insect with large, clear wings—some have wingspans of up to 65 mm. They live mostly in North America and Europe. Prior research has shown they used to populate large parts of Asia as well. They are currently classified as the oldest neuropterans, going back approximately 165 million years. In this new effort, the research team has identified what they believe to be the oldest found thus far
During a dig, an excavator known as Bai Bingyang found what the research team describes as the fossilized larval form of a lacewing insect. It was discovered in a layer of compressed tuffaceous siltstone along with other ancient insects. The fossil specimen differs from other lacewings—it has a long neck in addition to a large body—a size that suggested the larvae was quite successful at catching and eating prey.
Such insects, the researchers note, are known for their stylets, which are head protuberances that were used to stab and kill prey. In the fossil sample, the stylet was set atop an elongated cervix (neck), giving it a giraffe-like look. At 41.2 millimeters in length, the neck would have been long enough to allow the larvae to hide behind relatively tall plants or other objects as it peeked over the top, searching for unsuspecting prey.
In modern times, lacewings live in areas around mountain streams among moist left litter—the larvae live in the streams. Study of the fossil specimen uncovered in this new effort suggests that the larvae lived at the bottom of a shallow lake. The team has named the new species Palaeoneurorthus baii.

Mongolian star Ariunbold set to take FIBA 3x3 World Tour 2023 by storm www.fiba3x3.com

ULAANBAATAR (Mongolia) - After a breakout FIBA 3x3 World Tour 2022, Mongolian rising star Anand Ariunbold is set to take his highly entertaining game to new heights this year.
The 25-year-old stamped himself as one of the best players in Asia after averaging 7 pgg on the World Tour as the leader of Sansar MMC Energy and he was part of Mongolia's campaigns at the Crelan FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2022 and FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup 2022.
He stamped himself as the real deal by torching opponents in the Manila Masters, where he scored 30 points in 4 games.
The 6ft. 5in (1.96m) flame thrower poured in buckets with style marked by the lanky Ariunbold having the insane ability to twist his body in the air like an Olympic gymnast.
Such his ridiculous shot making ability, Ariunbold was voted by the fans as the Most Spectacular Player on the FIBA 3x3 World Tour 2022.
He beat out some of 3x3's best players such as Strahinja Stojacic (Ub Huishan NE) and Thibaut Vervoort (Antwerp) to underline his popularity among fans.
As he steadily rises in 3x3, the next challenge ahead of Ariunbold this year is to become recognized among the World Tour's elite.
To do that he needs to help Sansar get onto the World Tour more regularly having last year only qualified to the Masters in Manila and Cebu.
The time might also be right for Ariunbold to take the Mongolian torch from their talisman Delgernyam Davaasambuu, who led them in scoring at the World Cup and Asia Cup .
The 32-year-old has been a pioneer in the rise of 3x3 in Mongolia, where the one-hoop game is the most popular team sport in the East Asian landlocked country.
Davaasambuu, built like a bull to symbolize the country's hero Genghis Khan, also is the leader of Ulaanbaatar MMC Energy, who have long been Mongolia's best team and a regular on the World Tour.
But if Ariunbold goes up a level then Sansar might well become the new top dogs of Mongolia, who are becoming a breeding ground of talented 3x3 players due to the game's professional status there.
With the Asia Cup 2023 in Singapore set to launch the 3x3 season in March, we'll soon see whether Anand Ariunbold has taken the leap in his career.
One thing we do know is that he'll unleash a slew of crazy moves on the Enlio court much to the delight of his growing number of fans.

Przewalski's horses heading also to the east of Mongolia www.zoopraha.cz

Prague Zoo employees in cooperation with their Mongolian colleagues and partners have completed selection of the locality for the planned reintroduction of Przewalski’s horses to the east of Mongolia. After a long-lasting process, which included remote sensing methods as well as many visits to the selected localities and research into their botanical, zoological and parasitological characteristics, they chose the Valley of Monasteries (Sumiin khooloi). The area of 1,700 km2 lays mostly inside Numrug Strictly Protected Area (SPA).
Przewalski’s horses returned successfully to western and central Mongolia. The prepared project will focus at the east of the country.
“We became convinced that the Valley of Monasteries with its wide surroundings is the right locality,” the Prague Zoo director Miroslav Bobek said. “There is a rich grass vegetation, the valley has a suitable terrain profile, it is not significantly infested by ticks and the nearest herders travel tens of kilometres away. We could not find a better locality.”
The Valley of Monasteries should be the fourth area in Mongolia after Great Gobi SPA, Hustai National Park and Khomin Tal, where Przewalski’s horse would return. But it is the only one at the east of the country. After selection of the locality, the project Dornin Takhi (Wild Horse to the East) enters the implementation phase.
“We prepare everything in close cooperation with the Ministry of Environment and Tourism and other relevant authorities,” says O. Ganbaatar, the Executive Director of NGO We Help Them to Survive Mongolia, which will implement the project together with Prague Zoo. “The interest in Mongolia is exceptionally high.”
After completing all the formalities, the project works will begin, preceding the construction of the base and acclimatisation enclosures at the confluence of the Hook River (Degee River) and Southern Monastery Stream (Uvur sumiin gorkhi). At the same time, further scientific research will continue in the area of interest. The first Przewalski’s horses from Europe and current Mongolia localities could be transported to the Valley of Monasteries in the summer of 2026.
