Herders themselves are responsible for using the remote sensing data, which are provided to them at a cost to the project -- is this a sustainable arrangement? Note (above) that (1) WCS declines to disclose the project budget, and (2) this model is inherently tied to the Oyu Tolgoi mine, so the funding structure cannot be scaled to other regions. Below, however, we see the claim that the project is in fact scalable as it does not in fact rely on remote sensing
