We work alongside local herders and communities to protect wildlife, strengthen traditional knowledge, and ensure that conservation benefits both nature and people.

• Grounded in traditional knowledge
• Community-led conservation
• Long-term ecological monitoring
• Respect for culture & ethical practices

Every contribution goes to the Khulan Conservation Fund — supporting community-led biodiversity monitoring, protecting critical water sources, and building local conservation leadership in the Gobi.

Every contribution helps strengthen community partnerships, protect water points and rangelands, support local herders monitors biodiversity and take direct conservation actions, and sustain science-based and community-led conservation.

All contributions are tracked and reported annually in our public reports. We maintain full transparency in how funds are used. 

Our Funding priorities for 2026:  

• Support already engaged communities and individuals in monitoring and conservation efforts. 
• Expand our community-based monitoring network
• Enhance wildlife–pastoralist coexistence tools
• Support youth conservation ambassadors
• Develop our environmental education activities.

Each funding level directly advances our goal of building a connected, informed, and empowered network of Gobi herders and community members protecting key habitats and resources for khulans and other Gobi wildlife: for people and wildlife. 

In appreciation of your support:

• For every donation of €60 or less, you will receive a digital photo from the field, accompanied by a short story connecting it to our conservation work.

• For every donation of €150 or more, you will receive exclusive access to our annual online Zoom meeting for donors, offering direct updates and exchanges about our conservation work.

• For donations of €450 or more, you will receive a signed copy of our storybook “The Lost Khulan in the Gobi”, subject to availability. Your name or your company/organization/institution’s name will be listed on our website as a supporter of our conservation work (unless you prefer to remain anonymous).

All donors, regardless of the amount, will receive a copy of our Annual Impact Report prior to its public publication on our website.

As a small, mission-driven organisation, we choose to invest our resources directly into conservation where they matter most. Rather than mass-produced merchandise, we offer a small number of carefully chosen gifts when they meaningfully reflect our work and Mongolian culture. At times, these take the form of field-based materials — stories, images, or insights from the Gobi itself — offering supporters a more authentic connection to the landscapes and wildlife they help protect.

Your donation goes first and foremost to conservation action, research, and local partnerships, ensuring that every contribution makes a real difference.
