Mongolia | foreign mines impact on local economy for the global journal

“Cashing in on the Gobi desert ” is my first attempt of a full report, both text and images. As I travelled through Mongolia last summer, I wanted to understand how this newly opened country was processing its foreign investments. The result is presented in a 7 double page article ( photos + text ) in the latest issue of the global journal ( link online tease article here ).

The global journal is available in major international newsstand in europe and the US or directly through their website.
