SERGELEN, Mongolia - After enduring a harsh winter last year that killed almost half of her 1,000 head of livestock, Baatariin Erdenechimeg moved halfway across Mongolia in search of a new start.
But this winter has been no better - her family has lost a third of its remaining animals and may lose more before the warmer weather returns.
"Our animals could not survive that kind of cold," said Erdenechimeg, a 42-year-old mother of two.
