Animal husbandry is a fundamental social and economic paradigm, and the
Foundation has supported special policies for improving the lifestyle of the
herdsmen. The Foundation is also trying to implement several programmes and
measures for safeguarding ICH, especially for young people. They have initiated
measures, such as organizing a national campaign over the past 2-3 years on
safeguarding traditional practices of sacred sites which cover all ICH domains
and involve all people of Mongolia. They also arrange for children to be taught
about the sites, including urban dwellers who live too far from the sacred sites
to visit them.
