Gobi Desert: Mongolia's Gobi Desert
built 636 days ago
Mongolia's Great Gobi reserve protects a largely undisturbed part of the vast Gobi desert, and provides a last refuge for representatives of the ancient terrestrial fauna of Central Asia. In recognition of its unique qualities, the Mongolian government established the Great Gobi Strictly Protected area in 1975. In 1991, the United Nations designated the Great Gobi as an international Biosphere Reserve, the fourth largest Biosphere Reserve in the world, and the largest in Asia.
