Road ecology blog: Livestock crossing along road from Oyu Tolgoi (mine site) to Gashuun Sukhait (border Mongolia/China), Gobi, Ömnögovi, Mongolia.

Livestock crossing along road from Oyu Tolgoi (mine site) to Gashuun Sukhait (border Mongolia/China), Gobi, Ömnögovi, Mongolia. A livestock crossing consists of a very gradual slope on both sides of the road (perhaps about 10-20 m wide (road length) at selected locations. These types of livestock crossings were requested by nomadic livestock herders who believe that domesticated Bactrian camels may have trouble crossing the standard slope associated with the road bed.

Road ecology blog: Finished and unfinished road section from Oyu Tolgoi (mine site) to Gashuun Sukhait (border Mongolia/China), Gobi, Ömnögovi, Mongolia. The Oyu Tolgoi mine is expected to become the world's largest copper and gold mine over the next decade. Copper concentrate will be hauled to China. The road from the mine to the Mongolian / Chinese border is about 100 km long and bisects important habitat for the Asiatic wild ass or kulan (Equus hemionus), black-tailed or goitered gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa), and argali (Ovis ammon). Mitigation measures for wildlife are currently under consideration. Note that this road is not just a mining road; it is also part of the national public road system in Mongolia.
