Magnificent Mother Nature saved from mining
Rangers said, “It's a beautiful place with rich wildlife and rare plants, and beautiful in nature. If gold mining had started here, this beautiful place would have been destroyed and the wild animals would have fled. It's a great achievement to be able to stop mining activities in such a magnificent place. ”
The area is currently managed by the Onon-Balj National Park Administration, where conservation work is in full swing. Funded by WWF-Mongolia, 50 automatic cameras were installed in December 2020 to create a database of wildlife in the protected area. In June 2021, in collaboration research with experts from the Onon-Balj National Park, rangers and border guards, a variety of wildlife was discovered in the automatic cameras. These included Siberian musk deer, sable, American mink, red deer, roe deer, wild boar, Eurasian lynx, grey wolf, red fox and northern red-backed vole.

In addition, WWF-Mongolia in collaboration with the Onon-Balj National Park Administration, marked the boundaries of the newly protected areas in September 2020 in order to bring in the area to the public. With the financial support of WWF-Mongolia, a field outpost for rangers was built and fully equipped.
