| annotationText | The increased world demand for cashmere, combined with dramatic changes in the agricultural sector in the 90s has resulted in a surge in goat numbers in Mongolia. Exacerbated by climate change, the increased grazing pressure has led to the degradation of the native grasslands across the country and, in some parts, desertification. Over the last few years, million livestock have perished, threatening cashmere supplies and herders’ revenues. Still, high quality cashmere from Mongolia is an iconic fiber for Luxury. In 2014 solutions were urgently needed to convert the herders to a more sustainable approach and solve what the media called the “Cashmere Crisis”. |
