find water sources and oases. That is why we need to move more often from one place to another
in order to search for water and vegetation for grazing. These all are the horrendous detrimental
consequences caused by “desertification.” I feel exhausted and unsettled with it.
Overgrazing, deforestation, mining and all kinds of human exploitative activities resulted in
the expansion of the Gobi. Humans name this process as “desertification.” However, humans are
now paying a huge price for the dreadful and woeful desertification caused by them. Humans,
would you please stop carrying out all sorts of exploitative and harmful activities upon our
habitat or you might regret later. Please help restore the balance and harmony in the Gobi. Now I
feel so devastated that I really cannot stop myself voicing these grievances. Please kindly listen
to what I have shared. It is urgent and necessary for you to plant more trees on the edges of the
desert so as to slow down the rate of desertification. Every day, I pray for the Gobi and my master.
I am looking forward to seeing a healthy ecosystem in the Gobi Desert again.
