Habitat fragmentation is a major driver of #biodiversity loss worldwide. In the Gobi Desert, Wildlife Conservation Society Mongolia has spent over a decade using GPS collars to understand how roads and fenced railways affect wildlife like khulans. We also work with nomadic herders to study how linear infrastructure affects livestock and people. Last August, in partnership with herders, GPS collars were placed on some livestock to provide insights into how fences and railways impact traditional herding practices.
