Sain Beinoo! Hello from Mongolia!

Our group has just returned to UlaanBaatar from the city of Khovd. In Khovd we held a meeting for the herding communities involved in the Snow Leopard Enterprises program. I am learning that the Mongolian people are conservationists by nature, they have so much respect for their environment and I was truly impressed by how enthusiastic they were to do even more to help Snow Leopards and other wildlife that share the areas they live. It was a very enlightening and exciting experience for everyone involved. The community leaders were so grateful to be able to come together to share their ideas on their traditional crafts, conservation and the future of the program. To be a part of something that was obviously so important to them was a very moving experience!! We will be heading to the South Gobi tomorrow to visit the research camp. ‘Till next time…
