Sad News from Mongolia

On the eve of his departure for Turkey, Steve forwarded this sad story published in the NY Times about plummeting wildlife populations in Mongolia due to hunting pressure. This is due to a covergence of a population with a strong hunting tradition (the piece estimates that 10% of the population are active hunters), a weak economy, a weak central government who can't enforce hunting laws, drought, and the insatiable demand for wild animal products from the region's environmental bad actor, China.
