Directory of Protected Areas in East Asia: People, Organisations and Places implement the initiative of re-introducing the Takhi horse to the wild. Since 1992 these horses have been reintroduced to their wild habitats; they now number 127 individuals. The Commission links their conservation efforts with those of the national reserves and protected area administrations. It is working with the Great Gobi National Reserve Administration on a wide range of co-operative projects, such as a detailed study on the increasing number of wild camels and an investigation into the relationship between wild camels and Mazalalai-Gobi bears growth.

The biology faculty conducts research work in the protected areas of Mongolia, especially the Gobi Gurvan saikhan and Bogd Uul Mountains, because of their rich biodiversity, landscape and palaeontology. Researchers have analysed chromosome types and numbers of species and have performed a survey of diatom flora and their uses in applied studies of water quality analysis. A diatom herbarium was recently established at the University. Working language: Mongolian Geographic scope: Mongolia * N.B.

It was founded with the active support and co-operation of the Japan Federation of Economic Organisations (Keidanren). Established as a private, non-profit organisation, FASID is registered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture. In April 1991 Keidanren announced its Global Environment Charter. The Charter states that corporations must keep in mind the need to protect ecosystems and conserve resources. The Keidanren Committee on Nature Conservation was formed in 1992 to facilitate these efforts. FASID has joined forces with the committee to support activities including aid for foreign and Japanese NGO-administered nature
conservation projects in developing countries, training for personnel who will work on international nature conservation projects, and the promotion of deeper understanding of environmental issues. The KNCF supports field projects which: are in accordance with the aims of the KNCF (providing assistance for nature conservation efforts in developing countries, particularly in the Asia Pacific region), and giving priority to projects that will serve to enrich biodiversity; are well regarded by the host government, domestic and international non-governmental conservation groups, and the local community; do not serve the interest of any specific corporation or individual; and are implemented by staff and/or experts with sufficient scientific knowledge. The applicant organisation or group should: be a non-government and non-profit organisation; have a good record of implementing nature conservation projects in developing countries; be highly regarded both internationally and domestically; be able to reports on the project’s progress, budgetary appropriations and settlement of accounts as necessary; and it is preferable that the applicant NGO have a representative in Japan that can give information on the applicant organisation, the project and financial aspects. Alternative arrangements are acceptable, if the NGO can demonstrate technological and professional responsiveness to KNCF requests (e.g. timely e-mail or fax responses). 59 Mongolia Environmental Trust Fund (METF) Ulaanbaatar Mongolia http://www.magicnet.mn/btz E-mail: metf@magicnet.mn (see under Mongolia Section above) Nagao Natural Environment Foundation Yushima 2-29, Bunkyo-ku Tokyo 113-0034 Japan http://www.jwrc.or.jp/nef/ Tel: +81 3 3812 3123 Fax:+81 3 3812 3129 E-mail: aohno@jwrc.or.jp (see under Japan Section above) Organisations GEF GEF Secretariat 1818 H Street, NW Washington, DC 20433 USA http://www.gefweb.org Tel: +1 202 473 0508 Fax:+1 202 522 3240/3245 E-mail: gef@gefweb.org (see under International Section above) Earthwatch Institute, USA 680 Mount Auburn Street or P.O.
