Mongolia now has largest number of Przewalski’s horses www.news.mn

The Przewalski’s horse is the last remaining truly wild horse species in the world. Extinct in the wild in 1960’s, it survived thanks to a successful reintroduction program that began a quarter of a century ago.
The first 16 Przewalski’s horses arrived in Hustai National Park, Mongolia on 5 June, 1992, World Environmental Day transported bythe Dutch NGO FRPH and the Mongolian NGO MACNE’s. Since then, many Przewalski’s horses have come from European countries to Mongolia.
Today, 940 Przewalski’s horses are free ranging in Mongolia, which is the highest number of free ranging Przewalski’s horses in the world.

B.Batjargal: It is important to involve herders in insurance www.montsame.mn

Within the implementation of the ‘Extending Social Protection to Herders with Enhanced Shock Responsiveness’ program, the issue concerning the health of herders and increasing their involvement in social insurance is being focused.
In the framework of the program funded by the UN SDG Fund, a study on herders’ behaviour towards social and health insurance was conducted between 2020 and 2022 by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection in cooperation with the International Labour Organization, the University of Maastricht, and the Independent Research Institute of Mongolia.
In his opening remarks, UN Resident Coordinator Tapan Mishra expressed gratitude to the International Labour Organization for playing the leading role in implementing the joint program, and noted the importance of promoting the benefits of being involved in social insurance, and for herders to share the information with each other.
“As herders often lack information regarding social insurance, they do not make regular payments of social insurance contribution, which prevents them from being covered by insurance. Factors such as insufficient income and remote geographical location also affect the situation. Another factor negatively affecting the herders’ attitude towards social insurance is how the country’s people have traditionally prioritized current issues rather than those that would yield benefits in the future,” he said.
Head of Social Insurance Policy Implementation and Coordination Department of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection B.Batjargal said, “28 years have passed since social insurance inspectors began to work at 330 soums in the 21 aimags of Mongolia. Although the country has “soft” infrastructure and appropriate amount of human resource in this sense, the total number of herders involved in social insurance amounts to 49,000 as of 2021 - which is insufficient.”
“In order to improve the situation, the law was amended to allow social insurance contracts to be established annually rather than monthly, based on the herder’s income.
According to a study, 80 percent of the 4.2 million mobile phones being used nationwide are smartphones. Therefore, we created the appropriate conditions for making the monthly social insurance payment online.
We are grateful that the ILO conducted a study on herders’ behavior in the framework of the project. As the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection have also previously carried out a study involving 3,000 people in the capital city, it has now become possible to compare the results of these two studies. While the income of many businesses dropped due to the pandemic situation during the last two years, favorable weather conditions allowed herders to maintain their source of income.
Herders who are not covered by health and social insurance would eventually be excluded from the system and included in the welfare group. It is important to take the risk into account to involve herders in insurance,” he added.
A total of 4,000 herders based in eight aimags were involved in a study on ‘Herders’ behaviour towards social and health insurance’. Of the herders, 55 percent were men and 45 percent were women, while 39 percent were aged 35-44, 27 percent were aged 25-34, and 28 percent were aged 45-54.
The average annual income of herder families is MNT 15,278,807, which is close to the average household income calculated by the National Statistical Office (NSO). 81 percent of the participants receive ‘Child Money’ monthly allowance for their children, while only 14 percent receive old-age pensions. The study has also found that 64 percent of the households have loans, while 12 percent have savings.
The 4,000 herders involved in the study own a total of 1,607,784 livestock animals, of which 12 percent are small cattle and 88 percent are large cattle. Those who answered that their livestock and livestock products are their main source of income, also tended to involve their livestock in insurance for a long period of time. One out of three herders (31 percent) insured their livestock against natural disasters, theft, and infectious diseases, and 54 percent of herders insured their livestock for less than 4 years.
36 percent of the herders answered that they are covered by health insurance to protect themselves and their families, while 41 percent said that they are involved in insurance as they consider it to be crucial for herders. As for the herders who were not involved in insurance, they answered that they consider health insurance to be costly and not important. According to the survey, 39 percent of the herders make monthly social insurance contributions, with 29 percent making voluntary payments and 9 percent making mandatory payments.
According to the National Statistics Office of Mongolia, the total number of herders was 298,798 in 2020, which is 8.7 percent of the country's population. In 2010-2020, the number of young herders decreased by 28.9 thousand or 8.8 percent. 19.9 percent of Mongolia’s population are members of herder households, and 24.1 percent of the workforce are employed in the livestock sector. Thus, it is important for herders to be involved in health and social insurance systems that are efficient and accessible.

Russia ramps up gas supply to China www.rt.com

Russian energy giant Gazprom said this week that gas exports to China via the Power of Siberia pipeline have continued to grow. The deliveries are part of “a bilateral long-term contract between Gazprom and China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC),” the company said on its official Telegram channel.
The 3,000km (1,864 mile) cross-border pipeline started official deliveries of Russian natural gas to China in 2019. The so-called eastern route’s capacity is 61 billion cubic meters of gas per year, including 38 billion cubic meters for export. In 2020, Gazprom supplied 4.1 billion cubic meters of gas to China via the Power of Siberia.
The agreement on gas supplies via the pipeline was reached in 2014, with Gazprom and CNPC signing a 30-year contract. The $400 billion agreement is Gazprom’s biggest deal ever and the Power of Siberia is the first natural gas pipeline between Russia and China.
According to Gazprom, it is currently working on the Power of Siberia 2 project, which involves the construction of a gas pipeline to China through the territory of Mongolia. The pipeline will be capable of delivering as much as 50 billion cubic meters of gas once it’s operational.
Gazprom intends to become China’s biggest natural gas supplier, accounting for more than 25% of Chinese imports by 2035.

MOU to be established with SpaceX www.montsame.mn

On June 2, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Digital Development and Communications B.Bolor-Erdene held a virtual meeting with President and COO of SpaceX Gwynne Shotwell.
During the meeting, the sides discussed when Starlink's services are planned to be available in Mongolia, the current scope of the network, and the possibilities of cooperation.
Starlink emphasized the importance of constructing ground stations in Mongolia because of its vast territory. Due to the unique attributes of the land, not one, but several ground stations must be built, and Mongolia is required to provide necessary fiberoptic cables and internet connections. As a result, Mongolia will need some time to construct and operate the ground stations.
Starlink also highlighted the significance of the Ministry's Digital Nation policy in establishing a nationwide digital infrastructure and delivering Internet access in rural, isolated, and tourist areas.
Moreover, the company and the Ministry agreed to establish MOU in other areas.
