Protect the Asian Wild Ass in Mongolia
Mongolia is rich with a diverse and fragile environment that has been traditionally preserved through long-standing customs and beliefs. But the natural landscapes and flora and fauna are now in danger due to climate change and the impact of mining. The Mongolian Conservation and Research Expedition works at a grassroot level to protect the Asian Wild Ass in partnership with local rangers and communities in southeast Gobi. During this research expedition, you gain insight into the wild Gobi, especially the ecology of the lesser-known Dorngobi (east Gobi) region. Additionally, a part of the conservation funding also goes towards protecting the snow leopard or the takhi (Przewalskii) horses. responsiblevacation.com
