Mongolia is currently experiencing an extreme cold weather and heavy snow in the southern province of Dundgobi, which has caused much trouble for the life of herders. The cold snap and heavy snow have killed more than one million livestock, the herders' main source of income, according to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). Due to the plunge of temperatures from late 2009, 90 percent of Mongolia's territory is covered by snow. The herders' lives are facing difficulties because of the lack of fuel. (Xinhua/Ahsgan)
