In response to the flooding in the Eg-Ur Valley which killed 3,000 head of livestock in 2006, an American environmental organization has donated 500 head to help local families. 

Representatives of The Tributary Fund brought 500 yaks, sheep and goats to replace those lost in the communities of Tsagaan Uur and Zurlich. 

The provincial governor has asked the recipients of the animals to give a female animal, following breeding, to a neighbor in need. The governor predicted this would double the herd by 2011. 

The Tributary Fund, based in Montana, USA, works to find environmentally friendly approaches to assist communities worldwide.
