Mongolia is named as one of top 10 ethical travel destinations for 2016. Non-profit group Ethical Traveler--a project of the Berkeley-based Earth Island Institute released its annual list of the 10 most forward-thinking countries in the developing world. Mongolia is one of the five first-timers which have made this year’s list along with Grenada, Micronesia, Panama and Tuvalu. Mongolia’s inclusion is significant for it is the first developing mainland Asian country to ever appear on the list. According to the California-based group, each country is reviewed for its performance in the areas of human rights, social welfare, animal welfare and environmental protection. “Currently 500000 people including 70 percent of Mongolia’s herders, have modern electricity generated through solar power. However, it faces perhaps the most difficult animal welfare struggle of any country on Ethical traveler’s list, due to a surge in wildlife trafficking”, says the report.
