Education to biodiversity conservation

To permit the long term success of a project for the conservation of an endangered species it is needed to consider needs and difficulties of the local population that share the same habitat and to involve the population in the project. It is also needed to inform, sensitive and educate the population to biodiversity conservation and natural resources management.

Thus, the aim of the association GOVIIN KHULAN is to act for information and education of the mongolian population to nature and biodiversity conservation of Mongolia, and for an optimal management of their natural resources. Various actions will be conducted in parallel of the research and conservation actions that will be conducted in-situ for the Khulan conservation. These actions will be first conducted in the areas where will be conducting research, and after in all Mongolia. We will strongly cooperate with the mongolian government, related institutions and organisations, as well as with professionnals working for biodiversity conservation in Mongolia and in information and education.

These actions will be conducted in the south and south-east Gobi, area where our project will be conducted, as well as in Ulaanbaatar and other areas in Mongolia.

These actions started in 2006 and were complemented during the summer 2008, but were limited because of the lack of funding obtained to implement such actions.
