Encourage Mongolia to Scale Back on Cashmere - ForceChange: "Mongolia is one of the world’s largest producers of cashmere wool, a luxury fiber sheared from certain varieties of indigenous goats. Unfortunately, as the global demand for cashmere increases, so too does the environmental impact of the cashmere industry: increasingly large herds of goats destroy sources of food for other species, and contribute to the desertification that is affecting Mongolia. The government of Mongolia should take action to scale back on the production of cashmere, in order to keep the industry sustainable and preserve the unique ecology of the area."
