A herd of Mongolian gazelles has returned to Uvs Provice, in the western part of Mongolia after sixty years. The animals have migrated from the Khom steppe of neighbouring Zavkhan Province.

The local Uvs residents have been warned against attempting to hunt the gazelles. According to B.Buyantsog, Head of the Administration of Khan Khukhii Mountain Range Strictly Protected Area, a fine of MNT 500-550 thousand will be imposed on hunting the animals.

The gazelles migrate due to ecological imbalance and in search of a good pastures and a better habitat to spend the icy Mongolian winter.

Local sources said that the gazelles used to migrate from east to west across the steppe some 60 years ago. However, the construction of the railway restricted the free movement of the animals, most of which then remained in eastern part of the Khom steppe.
