The bankhar, a guardian dog, is being reintroduced to protect livestock from predators and remove herders’ incentive to keep more animals and kill predators.
Herd animals have tripled in number in recent years, causing overgrazing and trampling of the grass.

The video explains quite clearly how having an efficient shepherd dog like the bankhar allows herders to have a managable and sustainable size of sheep instead of having to resource to raising a large overheard to account for all the sheep they would lose. This means less land used to feed and sustain the sheep, hence the practice of using the dogs has a direct impact on conserving grassland.

The dogs scare away sand. That's how they stop the grassland from turning into desert.

To all those who are wondering why these dogs would help to prevent desertification, herders used to ride horse while herding. The grasslands can grow back from horse tracks pretty fast. It also limits the radius of each herder's movement.

How is no one taling about how beautiful these dogs are? They have doberman and rottweiler colors but they have the fur and they are the size of saint Bernard's or other similar dogs. They are so gorgeous!😍👍🏾😭😫💖💖💖😍🙂

This reminds me of the Mongolian boy singing 'Mother in the Dream' (??) on China's Got Talent years ago. His dream was to create a substance that could turn any place into green grassland! Such a beautiful place, and he had me in tears when he sung.

As far as i understood from the video, dogs act as herd protectors. I still don't get how they can prevent overgrazing so as to turn the deserts to grasslands.... 🤔🤔

So much for the delusion of not needing Earth or old ways any more. A RETURN TO THE NATURAL TO SAVE US

It feels like societies these days often have to give up their traditions to survive. It's amazing to see these nomads turn to tradition for their survival.
