Dr. Sumjidmaa Sainnemekh, the first GRÓ LRT PhD scholarship recipient, graduated from the Agricultural University of Iceland in 2022 with a doctoral degree in Environmental Science. Today she works as a rangeland management specialist at The Nature Conservancy in Mongolia where she can directly apply her wealth of knowledge to contribute to rangeland science and tackle overgrazing and rangeland degradation, which is a major environmental challenge in her home country Mongolia. The GRÓ centre asked Sumjidmaa to share information about her career and how her work is contributing to sustainable land management in Mongolia.
