As a refuge for many of central Asia's most threatened species, the causes and effects of large scale declines in Mongolia's biodiversity will be outlined in this month's Scientific Meeting.

Mongolia's vast and diverse landscape, covering an area as large as Western Europe, has traditionally been a refuge for many of central Asia's most threatened species such as the Asiatic wild ass (Equus hemionus), Przewalski's horse (E. ferus przewalskii), Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus ferus), Saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica) and Snow leopard (Uncia uncia). However, over the past two decades the economy has become increasingly liberalized, resulting in rapid social and economic change.
This scientific meeting explores the impact of these changes on Mongolian wildlife by identifying the intensifying threat processes, defining the status of Mongolia's vertebrates and highlighting massive declines.
Lessons learned from the recent success story of the re-introduction of Przewalski's horse (E. ferus przewalskii) will also be discussed.
Finally, actions necessary to reverse the large scale biodiversity loss in Mongolia will be outlined.
SILENT AUCTION
An auction of unique Mongolian items will be held on the evening. An Auction list is available at www.zsl.org/london-zoo/whats-on/scientific-meeting-mongolia-wildlife-market-forces-and-massive-declines,165,EV.html.
