Description
In the arid terrain of the Mongolian Steppe, Ikh Nart Nature Reserve is a refuge for near-threatened argali sheep, herds of Mongolian gazelles, and soaring cinereous vultures. But despite its protected status, this vital ecosystem faces growing threats from poaching, illegal mining, and overgrazing. Limited resources make it difficult for local stewards to manage conservation efforts effectively.
As a volunteer, you’ll work alongside scientists to track wildlife, collect critical data, and contribute to research that shapes conservation policies. Whether you’re spotting argali sheep through binoculars, monitoring raptors in flight, or helping document the movements of gazelles, your efforts will play a direct role in safeguarding this fragile landscape.
Join this team to explore this wilderness landscape in a way few people get the opportunity to experience. Your work will be used to develop improved conservation management policies in the reserve and help conserve this magnificent landscape and the life that depends on it.
