【目　的】

The purpose of the symposium is firstly to describe the present status of the Mongolian ecosystem network. How is it affected by such phenomena as global warming, vegetation degradation, soil desiccation, livestock population increase, new patterns of nomadic migration, distribution and prices of stock farm products, land law and the development of mining? Secondly, the symposium addresses the restoration of the Mongolian ecosystem network, considering its capacity to adapt to changing climatic and economic conditions, and the social and ecological components of sustainable nomadism.

The symposium provides an opportunity for interdisciplinary discussion of nature and society in the Mongolian ecological network, especially as they are expressed in nomadism. Furthermore, it encourages multidisciplinary and integrative research projects and activities, such as our RIHN project, "Collapse and Restoration of Ecosystem Network under Human Activity".
