(English/Italiano) A great second-hand purchase: long- lasting cashmere. Do you know the impact of this fiber? The cashmere market has expanded in the last 20-30 years causing a rapid increase in the number of goats (4 times as many as there were in Mongolia 30 years ago, the region where cashmere mostly comes from). That increased amount of goats means overgrazing, that led to massive land degradation and soil erosion, impacting the climate.
