Projects in Mongolia

The Great Bustard in Mongolia: From Conservation Biology to Land-Use Planning

Our goal is to increase knowledge of the critical habitat and population genetics of endangered Central Asian populations of the Great Bustard, concomitantly engaging local people in the research process and promoting awareness of this species in local communities.

Mongolian Great Bustard Conservation Project

The aim of the project is to work within local communities to determine the best conservation practices for endangered populations of Asian Great Bustard (Otis tarda dybowskii).

Support Herders Initiative to Establish Community Managed Areas at the Borders of Buren and Bayan-Unjuul Soums of Tuv Aimag

Basing on protection of Argali wild sheep (Ovis ammon) as a key species and its natural habitats ensure long term conservation of wildlife and sustainable natural resources use in the mountain-steppe by establishing herder’s community managed areas.

Support and Strengthen Established Herder’s Communities

During implementation of the first RSG project it was clearly evident that the water supply for both domestic and wild life is the most essential and priority issue for the area. The problem requires urgent solution and we plan to repair and equip at least one hand operating well for livestock, restore and rehabilitate open spring water for wildlife in the community managed area.

Adaptation of Pasture Land New Management Regulations and Argali Wild Sheep Habitat Protection at the Community Area

The aim of the project is to promote and expand Community Conservation Areas and community based natural resource management approach in Mongolia.

Community Training in Participatory Planning and Monitoring of Wildlife Conservation

The aim of this project is to bring together herders from the far reaches of snow leopard range in Mongolia so that we can unify their efforts as they help to manage the largest snow leopard conservation program in the country.

Survival and Mortality of Saiga Calves in Mongolia

The aims of the proposed project are to estimate survival of Mongolian Saiga calves and evaluate cause-specific mortality using radio-telemetry.

The Conservation of Insects in the North-Eastern Mongolia

The project aims to reveal and conserve rare and endangered species of insects in North-Eastern Mongolia. We’ll popularize insects and their habitats and necessity of their conservation among local people.

Evaluating the Impacts of Carnivore Hunting in the Grassland and Semi-Desert Steppes of Mongolia

The aim of our Rufford Small Grants project is to evaluate the ecological impacts of hunting in the grassland and semi-desert steppes of Mongolia.

Capacity Enhancement for Better Snow Leopard Conservation and Monitoring in Central Asia (India, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan and China)

Development and effectuation of a field training tool kit including a set of field equipment (for demonstration), and friendly audio-visual materials including presentations, spreadsheets, necessary software and manuals/booklets to promote snow leopard conservation and monitoring across its range.

Conservation of Critically Endangered Eastern Subpopulation of Dalmatian Pelicans (Pelicanus Crispus) in Western Mongolia

Promotion of population recovery of the species.
