The 2002 Law on Allocation of Land to Mongolian Citizens for Ownership regulates the allocation procedure and the types and sizes of land to be owned. In addition, land cadastre establishment and operation is regulated by the 1999 Law on Cadastre Mapping and Land Cadastre. The 2012 Law on Soil Protection and Desertification Prevention aims to facilitate measures to prevent soil damage and soil fertility decline from overgrazing and desertification. It includes measures to prevent desertification from intensification of agriculture, mining, road construction and urban use, as well as from climate change (chapter 1). The idea behind this draft law is to move to a more regulated rangeland planning and management system. It is envisaged that the new law will regulate rangeland relations in line with the carrying capacity of rangeland and support the sustainable use of land used for pasturing through the introduction of fees for the use of rangeland and earmarking a certain amount of revenues for rehabilitation measures.
