B.1.

Fonctions sociales et culturelles

Expliquez les fonctions, les significations sociales et culturelles de l'élément aujourd'hui, au sein et pour ces communautés, les caractéristiques de ses détenteurs et de ses praticiens et décrivez, entre autres, toute catégorie de personnes exerçant un rôle ou des responsabilités spécifiques vis-à-vis de l'élément. Une attention particulière devrait être accordée à tout changement pertinent susceptible d'avoir des répercussions sur le critère d’inscription U.1 (« L’élément est constitutif du patrimoine culturel immatériel tel que défini à l'article 2 de la Convention »).

Social and cultural functions

Mongolian herdsmen perform a ritual called the Coaxing ritual to strengthen the bond between mother animals and their newborns. It involves using special words and melodies to encourage the mother to accept her baby and is particularly important for camels. According to article 2.2 of the Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, this heritage element belongs to the domain of “oral traditions and expressions, including language as a vehicle of the intangible cultural heritage”, “Social practices, rituals and festive events” and domain “performing arts” and domain “knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe”.
The coaxing ritual unique form of intangible cultural heritage, because it is the way of adopting a newborn orphan and rejecting a baby by its mother. It is the ritual of singing and playing musical instruments with psychological communication of herdsman and animal through consonant melody for adopting baby camel.
An inscription of this heritage element on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding, UNESCO has played a significant social and cultural role not only to practitioners and herders but also for all Mongols to be proud of their nomadic lifestyle and understand that traditional methods and cultural heritage are an integral part of their life and importance to transmission to youth.

While elsewhere spring is a pleasant season for peasants, it isn’t convenient for Mongolian herdsmen. Every 2 years, mother camel gives birth to their young in a harsh and dusty spring, so there is a big risk of losing a mother or a baby animal. Therefore, tying the mother camel and orphaned baby camel using this ritual practice and knowledge is one of the factors that keep the camel population in our country from declining.

The most important role played in the Coaxing ritual is experienced by herders singers women and musicians, who will have psychological contact with animals, through the lyric melody. While the children are learning from the older generation how to perform the ritual, they will have information and knowledge on the traditional behavior of nomads to love and respect elders and to protect the natural environment. As one of the unique relationships of humans to animals and the environment, the Coaxing ritual is very suitable for the sustainable development of Mongolia, because of a unit of cultural bearers and practitioners, their communities, and groups to safeguard the ritual.

Camel herders, communities of cultural bearers and practitioners, and groups of elders and supporters are the main actors in the continuity of the Coaxing ritual as a useful practice of camel raising and an unforgettable tradition of human/ animal relationship of nomads in the future.

Analyse de sa viabilité et risques auxquels il est actuellement exposé

Décrivez le degré actuel de viabilité de l'élément, en particulier la fréquence et l'étendue de sa pratique, la vigueur des modes de transmission traditionnels, la composition démographique des praticiens et des publics, et sa durabilité. Veuillez aussi identifier et décrire les facteurs qui, le cas échéant, constituent une menace pour la pérennité de la transmission et de la représentation de l'élément et indiquez le degré de gravité et de proximité de tels facteurs, en accordant une attention particulière à tout renforcement ou affaiblissement de la viabilité de l'élément suite à son inscription.

Assessment of its viability and current risks

Today, this element is being practiced in Dundgovi, Umnugovi, Dornogovi, Govisumber, Gobi-Altai, Bayankhongor, Uvs, and Khovd, Dornod, Tuv, Uvurkhankgai, and Khuvsgul provinces.
As of 2022, the Govisumber province has a total of 1007 camels and coaxing ritual is being practiced in this province. Herders herd camels for four seasons of the year and get benefits from camels for four seasons.
Dundgovi province has a total of 41138 camels and herders in the south of the territory are herding camels along with pasture areas. Dundgovi province has a total of 15 soums and only 3 practitioners identified and inventoried in 3 soums and the viability of this element is very weak in this province.
Tov province has a total of 3975 camels and there are a total of 7 practitioners identified and inventoried 5 soums.
Uvs province has a total of 27234 camels and only 3 practitioners inventoried at the Zavkhan soum of Uvs province, traditional knowledge and practice associated with herding camel is on the edge of disappearance and it is important to increase the number of practitioners in this province through apprenticeship training.
Khuvsgul province has a total of 2507 camels, and after the inscription of the element on the USL, the number of camel herders increased. With the increase in camel number, revitalization of camel load and nomad migration practices occurred.
Bayankhongor province has a total of 45529 camels 17457 of them are female camels and several camels are increasing year by year. Elder practitioner Sh.Tseveen was included in the “National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage Practitioners” in 2019 because she practiced coaxing ritual for camels. In Bayanlig soum of Bayankhongor province, there is a total of 10 practitioners inventoried.
Ovorkhangai province has a total of 19,300 camels, only practitioners D.Dorj and his family members are representing this element in their province.
Khovd province has a total of 29557 camels but no practitioners inventoried.
Omnogovi province has a total of 164766 camels, but only 14 practitioners are inventoried.

Although the viability of the element “Coaxing ritual for camels” is enhanced, the number of herders is being decreased, and the following risks still exists. As for including:
1. The number of herders who herd camel is less
2. Camel herding practice is uncommon or unidentified in mountainous areas
3. Camels are being used for domestic uses for loading and riding
4. The environment where to herd and increase camel is less.
These statistics from the local community show that the environment for practicing this type of heritage element is shrinking more and more. The number of herders in rural areas is decreasing due to the sharp increase in population migration from rural to urban areas. Due to this, transmission of knowledge and practices associated with coaxing ritual is being lost and negative impacts occurred in the sustainable development of traditional pastoralism.
As well as, due to the mining development in Gobi area young camel herders are willing to drive lorries to get more income.

Within the reporting period, although there were several activities organized in association with the culture associated with camels, most of them were festivals and competitions and indeed there were fewer activities organized for disseminating the knowledge and practices associated with the element “Coaxing ritual for camels”.
