Our scientific and technical partners

. In Mongolia we collaborate with researchers and professionnals:

     - Dr. BATSAIKHAN N. and Pr. GOMBOBAATAR S., National Unniversity of

       Mongolia,

     - the Mongolian Ornithological Society (MOS),

     - manager and rangers working in the Little Gobi B protected area located in the

       south and southeast Gobi, with rangers working outside of protected areas who

       are responsible of wildlife monitoring, with policemen and governors of each

       sums* (administrative division) of our study area.

During each field mission we involve in our team a Mongolian student in biology and/or member of the Mongolian Ornithological Society, to permit to this student to participate to field research for Mongolian wild ass and biodiversity conservation, and train him/her in observations and various research methods. This student or biologist also assist the project manager in translation and communication with the local population. Our aim is to provide good training and skills to some Mongolian students and involve them in our project for that they  can work for the Mongolian wild ass conservation on a long term.  

End of 2010 we started to cooperate with some researchers from the Research Center in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources (CIBIO, University of Porto, Portugal): Dr. Albano BEJA-PEREIRA and his team / “Genes, Population Genomics and Traits” research group, in charge of research on genetic and microbiology. And Dr. Nuno MONTEIRO (Behavioral ecology research group) who will assist Anne-Camille SOURIS in her research on the Mongolian Khulan's behavioral ecology and ethology.
