At the same time, the project is also helping herders to plan where and for how long to graze their different pastures during the year. Satellite images gathered by Stanford University and NASA, who joined the project in 2017, are being used to monitor pasture quality and provide new information on which areas can support pasturing. That phase of the project is still in its early days, but the potential for better-managed grazing is huge

In 2014, through the Sustainable Cashmere Project (now known as the South Gobi Cashmere Project), Kering partnered with the Wildlife Conservation Society (https://www.wcs.org/) to help herders reducing the impact of upstream cashmere production and switching to new sustainable models in the South Gobi Region of Mongolia. Over the last five years, the Group has been working with herder communities and NGOs to improve fiber quality, pasture management and biodiversity conservation

Burberry is working to restore farmlands and promote animal welfare in the country. Almost 4,000 farming families have signed up to improve animal welfare standards and 48 range land managers have been employed to help engage farming families on how to change for the better. School children are also taught about cashmere farming to help encourage the next generation into the industry.
