So cool seeing a member of the Foreign Service back in Mongolia and hearing about all the things that have changed as well as stayed the same!

[John Dwyer @JohnCDwyer]

Great read about Mongolia's deer stones and two archaeologists studying them, Fitzhugh and Bayarsaikhan, in @SmithsonianMag https://t.co/STZDenbPGy

[Peace Corps Director @PeaceCorpsDir]

I am humbled and grateful to serve as the 21st Director of the Peace Corps at this pivotal moment in history. I love this agency, our mission, and the amazing global community that comes together every day, across difference, to work for our shared future.

So, this is apparently how seabuckthorn berries are harvested in Mongolia and a lot of things are making sense to me now ...

Чацаргана тарьдаг улсууд намар түүх гэж зовж байхаар өвөл хөлдөөж байгаад авчихвал илүү амархан юм байна.

Ингэж авдаг хүмүүс байна уу?

Journalism and independent media are the cornerstones of #Mongolia's democracy! With an empowered media ecosystem, journalists can fulfill their watchdog role – holding those in positions of power accountable.

[Tim Jenkins @TS_Jenkins]

I stopped by the @usaid_mongolia funded BEST programme office in the South Gobi. Entrepreneurs from across the region, like Tsogbayar, travel hundreds of kilometers to meet w/business development advisors. There was a line of folks waiting to meet the BEST Team! Impressive work!

#Aisholpan is known as the fierce eagle huntress from #mongolia. Now she fears that #climatechange could mean the end of their ancient culture.

#COP26 might be over but the fight is not ✊

Come see the CHIP ger on the square this weekend. Having lived in a ger myself, I believe this innovation could be a game changer for thousands of families — bringing thermal comfort to the traditional #Mongolia-n ger.

Best use for tote bags: storing more tote bags

[John Dwyer @JohnCDwyer]

Dzuds are typically recognized / known for causing mass deaths of livestock, but they take a real toll on people and livelihoods and Mongolia is only expecting harsher and more frequent dzuds to come https://t.co/S32qxXUal2 @NPR

On the occasion of #WorldHumanitarianDay, @UNFPA_Mongolia @UNICEF_Mongolia and @unmongolia made a tribute to nine colleagues who lost their lives in a humanitarian mission to Uvs 20 years ago. #Mongolia #dzud

Picturing one scientist excitedly telling another that he created a "daddy shortlegs" and getting the reply: "no, Craig, you made something we already have a name for ... you made a spider, Craig, and no one is going to be happy about it"

So cool seeing what Returned @PeaceCorps volunteers are doing, especially Returned @PC_Mongolia volunteers 🇲🇳

[Tim Jenkins @TS_Jenkins]

.@PINinMongolia is in Govi-Altai meeting with herders that we supported during the dzud this year. We're working with @PIK_Climate and @StatisticMGL with support from @GermanyDiplo to understand how herders can be best supported to cope with dzud and #ClimateChange in #Mongolia.
