Explore the lives of grassland animals, from the hedgehog to the Siberian ibex, to help conserve their wilderness home.

Venture into the heart of Mongolia’s untamed wilderness, where sweeping grasslands and dramatic rock formations provide a haven for some of Central Asia’s most iconic and elusive wildlife. From hedgehogs scurrying through the undergrowth to majestic Siberian ibex scaling rugged cliffs, Ikh Nart Nature Reserve is home to an extraordinary range of species—but they need your help.

Spanning 666 square kilometers (257 square miles) of steppe and arid terrain, Ikh Nart is a refuge for near-threatened argali sheep, herds of Mongolian gazelles, and soaring cinereous vultures. But despite its protected status, this vital ecosystem faces growing threats from poaching, illegal mining, and overgrazing. Limited resources make it difficult for local stewards to manage conservation efforts effectively.

As a volunteer, you’ll work alongside scientists to track wildlife, collect critical data, and contribute to research that shapes conservation policies. Whether you’re spotting argali sheep through binoculars, monitoring raptors in flight, or helping document the movements of gazelles, your efforts will play a direct role in safeguarding this fragile landscape.

Join this team to explore this wilderness landscape in a way few people get the opportunity to experience. Your work will be used to develop improved conservation management policies in the reserve and help conserve this magnificent landscape and the life that depends on it.
