This paper describes and evaluates the performance of Pasture User Groups (PUGs) in Ikhtamir Soum, Arkhangai Aimag (province): one of Green Gold's five pilot sites. Two PUGs were selected from two different locations. The Ishgent PUG, located around the lower reaches of the Khoit Tamir River, mainly herds sheep and goats, while the Kukh Davaa PUG, on the upper reaches of the Tamir River and close to a high mountain area, mainly keeps yaks.
