Cover Story: Global drylands host more than USD 1 trillion in resource extraction investments. In Mongolia’s Gobi Desert, mega-mining brings social challenges and environmental changes that question whether nomadic herding and mining can co-exist. Company and community conflict are common yet nascent frameworks, and mediation models suggest alternate ways to resolve the mining-community conundrum. Here, we investigate transformations that herders encounter with the Oyu Tolgoi mega-mine in the Khanbogd district. Using socioeconomic and physical data, we assessed local engagement and adaptation to large-scale mining and the implications for herder lives and lands. This study presents an integrated assessment of herder, government, and mining roles in reshaping pastoralism. Contrary to common narratives, mining and herding can, and do, coexist in Khanbogd, Mongolia. View this paper
