The Dark Side of Mongolia's Mineral Boom

The Dark Side of Mongolia's Mineral Boom | Mongolia Times | Scoop.it
A new mine promises to provide great wealth to Mongolia. But at what cost?
Andre Hessini's curator insight, April 27, 2014 11:20 PM

This article begins by announcing that Rio Tinto, an Australian based mining company, is opening a new facility in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. It explains that, while nomadic herders often have reservations about the mining boom, companies like Rio Tinto pick them up as laborers, giving them offers they can’t refuse. The nomads are given ample benefits, guaranteed lifetime employment, free schooling for their children, and working hours that don’t interfere with the herding season, all for their cooperation and acceptance of the mines. While most are happy for the second job, the article asserts that they come at the cost of traditional culture and lifestyle. I’m not sure what I think about this phenomenon. It’s a shame that cultural values are being undermined, but to an extent, I think it may be inevitable. Progress has a nasty tendency to reach all corners of the world, it seems. I think the best we can hope for is that the new employment truly will raise the Mongolian standard of living, while culture can still be preserved to an acceptable level.
