The Ministry of Environment and Green Development has adopted a national program for the protection of Mazaalai, the Gobi Bear.

Mazaalai is found in no other place in the world outside of Mongolia. The national program for the protection of Mazaalai is designed to improve Mazaalai habitat, to increase their numbers by conducting an artificial breeding program, and protecting its current population.

In the scope of the national program, a series of measures will be taken to provide more sources of drinking water for the Mazaalai in their desert habitat. The planting of natural food sources for Mazaalai will be in operational in September.
