Local protected areas have increased
Together with the parties, the WWF-Mongolia is actively working towards securing ecologically important areas under special protection. In this context, activities are carried out such as developing justification for special protection and organizing stakeholder workshops involving the parties. As a result of this work, a total of 119,372 hectares of land around the headwaters of Tenuun River, which is a major tributary of Kherlen River, and tributaries of Onon River, which is the head of Amar River, could be taken under local protection for a period of 15 years.
Interestingly, as a result of the intense work of the WWF-Mongolia together with the local people in cooperation with the parties in elaborating justification of the protected area, the Parliament made a decision to take Gutai under special state protection back in 2020. Taking this area under special protection was extremely important step from the point of view of nature conservation. Given gold was exploited in this area, the risk of irreversible damage to the Onon River, the head of the Amar River, and thus to the ecology of the Onon River Basin would have been extremely high.
