Guardian Dogs of the Mongolian Steppe.

Abstract

The article reports that predators and climate change have driven goat herders in Mongolia to boost the size of their flocks, which has led to overgrazing of the grassland. It mentions that a program to reintroduce the region's traditional livestock guardian dog aims to deter predators and thus encourage herders to reduce herd sizes. It states that the guardian dogs of Mongolia seem to be highly effective at preventing livestock losses.
