Beside of carrying out many kinds of avtivities, we implement the project for conserving NR. Currently, we are looking funds to implement 2 projects for NR.

1. Implemented project

Project Name: DEVELOPING NATURE CONSERVATION AND COMMUNITY-BASED TOURISM IN GUN-GALUUT NATURE RESERVE
Duration: 12 months
Supporter: GEF /Global Environment Facility/
Organization: Gun-Galuut Community Association

Project Description: Goal of the project is taking Gun-Galuut as a locally protected area for its unique biodiversity, delicate ecosystem of Kherlen river and globally threatened wildlife habitat, improving locals' participation in the nature conservation activities, developing community-based tourism basing on the Gun-Galuut NR and supporting the locals' life standards by their involvement of the nature conservation and tourism activities. In the frame of the project activities, we have marked the protected area borders and made researches on the population of Argali herds etc., Therefore, we also have blocked some unnecessary roads in the area, placed road signs and made information blocks at necessary spots. Moreover, to keep the area clean, we made protection fences at the core areas such as Ayaga Oasis, Mt Baits etc. Also several serial lessons on nature conservation, tourist services etc have been taken place among the locals.
