UNICEF’s Report Card on nutrition was released today and Mongolia’s
grade for reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) was, “no
progress.”
Mongolia actually showed a .3% increase in malnutrition and
underweight prevalence during the period of 1990-2004. While 13% of
Mongolia’s children are malnourished, that number pales in comparison
to most South Asian countries. Yet with Mongolia's small populatin, 13% can be very detrimental....
During the Stalinist purges of the 1930's almost every monastery in Mongolia was destroyed. In 1979 an atlas was published in Ulaanbaatar by Mr. Rinchen with an overview of more than 900 religious sites that used to exist in Mongolia. However a lot the information listed seems to be not accurate. A research has been initiated to get a better idea of all the buddhist buildings that once stood in Mongolia.
