The Amur-Heilong River, the largest river in Northeast Asia, flows through China, Mongolia, and Russia. It originates from the Onon River in Mongolia and the Argun River in China. Stretching nearly 4,500 kilometers without dams, it is the ninth longest free-flowing river globally and has the tenth largest watershed, covering over 2 million square kilometers. The river basin is vital for biodiversity conservation, as it includes several ecoregions of global significance.

WWF’s initiatives to protect forests, freshwater, wetland, and grassland ecosystems, as well as key species such as the Amur tiger, Amur leopard and Mongolian gazelle, will primarily be carried out in the AHEC Landscapes in
China and Mongolia. Additionally, efforts to safeguard migratory bird species along the East Asia-Australasia Flyway (EAAF) in line with WWF’s Wetlands for Asian Flyways Initiative will be expanded to enhance cooperation with
partners across other regions.
