The document discusses biodiversity, economic, and development issues in Mongolia. It notes that Mongolia has the largest intact temperate grasslands which are habitat for gazelles and other wildlife. The economy relies heavily on animal husbandry by nomadic herders, though overgrazing is an issue. Recent economic growth from mining and infrastructure projects risks further development pressures on these grasslands and wetlands important for migratory birds.

- 10. Where We Work: Mongolia’s Eastern Steppe
Editor's Notes
- We conducted an ecoregional assessment for the Eastern Steppe and here’s a preliminary conservation portfolio (in dark green). This work, which started in Sept 2009, is being conducted under an MOU with the Ministry of Environment and being driven by a working group that includes Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy, other gov’t agencies, regional and local stakeholders, academics, and NGOs.
- We looked at this through the lens of future development and make recommendations about which overlap/conflicts need to be avoided and which we can re-design the portfolio and offset those impacts
- We work in Tosonkhulstai Nature Reserve -1Mln acre calving ground for gazelle in the heart of grasslands. Here you see how new proposed PA was redesigned after ERA was done.
- But when viewed with the potential cumulative impacts for the region, we think an approach like DbyD will be needed to guide effective landscape planning and mitigation decisions. (Map shows leases across Mongolia)
