Biotechnical measures for wildlife were taken in participation of locals

Last winter, it snowed a lot and snow cover thickness reached 20-30 cm and wintering was actually harsh either for domestic herds or wildlife populations throughout the NR. Therefore, WWF-Mongolia, in collaboration with local residents of the NR, took some biotechnical measures (e.g. placed 300 kg of rock salts) for wildlife in four designated points in the Nature Reserve. The points were designated based on findings from automatic cameras placed in the NR.

WWF-Mongolia has been responsible for daily conservation of Khar Yamaat Nature Reserve (NR) since 2013 in accordance with the Agreement signed by Ministry of Environment and Green Development and Khentii and Sukhbaatar Aimag (provincial) governments. To date, the Nature Reserve’s daily conservation is being successfully managed through direct stakeholder engagement.
