“In Mongolia, floods occur frequently in summer, costing human life, while millions of cattle are killed by the dzud in winter. I had lived in the countryside herding livestock all my life, and I had never felt the dangers of the dzud like now when I was younger. Since we live in a residential area now, in a safe place, I worry very much about my cattle every time it snows and as soon as the weather gets worse. I wish my granddaughter would live healthily, learning many things, and with satisfaction in a more peaceful, safe place in the future."
