The Taiga, also known as the boreal forest, represents about 17% of the Earth’s surface and has the highest density of rivers and natural springs in the world. In Mongolia, its primary forests and pure waters have kept an entire population nomadic on its lands for thousands of years. But for the past 30 years, the rich natural resources of these Mongolian lands have fallen prey to illegal hunters and miners, often from the local population. In just a few years, the country has witnessed an alarming collapse of its biodiversity. Faced with this worrying situation, the Mongolian Ministry of Environment created the “Red Taiga” Park in 2012, appointing ranger Jal Tumursukh as its manager. The former local hunter’s new mission is to enforce environmental protection law, aimed at putting an end to illegal mining and to foster traditional hunting and nomadic practices: A delicate mission for a just cause to which the chief ranger is trying to rally more and more forest guards from the disgruntled local communities.
