Great Gobi Six to protect Gobi system

"Great Gobi Six" project will protect the Gobi ecosystem.

"Great Gobi Six" project will protect the Gobi ecosystem. In Mongolia, the Great Gobi six animals are the wild Bactrain camelonager, Gobi bear or MazaalaiPrzewalski's horseblack-tailed deer and the saiga. WWF - Mongolia in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, Environment Department of Gobi-Altai aimag, Great Gobi A Strictly Protected Area have organized the event to promote them to the public. The main purpose of the event was to involve parties to the protection of Gobi ecosystem through great Gobi six animals and to unite the activities in further. Each of the great Gobi six animals are responsible for ecosystem. For instance, onager digs holes in dry riverbeds to access subsurface water. The water holes dug by the wild asses are often subsequently visited by domestic livestock, as well as other wild animals. Water is also found in the plants on which the onagers feed. However, people illegally hunt them to sell their skins and meat. Currently, 40 thousand onagers are existing in Mongolia. Country Director of WWF-Mongolia D.Batbold noted that "Gobi Six" term will become a Mongolian brand and we will promote the term to the world. "Takhiin tal" declaration was issued and parties agreed to reform law relating to the welfare of animals, organize events to attract public attention and create tourism brand products named "Gobi Six".
