Explore the wonders of wild Mongolia through the eyes of a
distinguished field biologist Mongolia became a satellite of the
Soviet Union in the mid-1920s, and for nearly seven decades
effectively closed its doors to the outside world. Biologist George
Schaller initially visited the country in 1989 and was one of the
first Western scientists allowed to study and assess the
conservation status of Mongolia's many unique, native wildlife
species. Schaller made a number of trips from 1989 to 2018 in
collaboration with Mongolian and American scientists, witnessing
Mongolia's recovery and transition to a market economy after the
collapse of the Soviet Union. This informative and fascinating new
book provides a firsthand account of Schaller's time in this
little-known and remote country, where he studied and helped
develop conservation initiatives for the snow leopard, Gobi bear,
wild camel, and Mongolian gazelle, among other species. Featuring
magnificent photographs from his travels, the book offers a
critical, at times inspiring contribution for those who treasure
wildlife, as well as a fresh perspective on the natural beauty of
the region, which encompasses steppes, mountains, and the Gobi
Desert.
