On Monday, February 26, 2024, at the Science Museum of Trento, the MUSE, you can participate in an event that will tell part of the research and conservation experiences of the Gobi bear in Mongolia.
Camels and wild asses, Gobi brown bears, argals, Siberian ibexes and snow leopards will be the focus of "Fauna in the Trans-Altai Desert", the event, which will see the participation of Battogtokh Nasanbat, a scientific researcher at the Institute of Biology of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, who has been involved in long-term monitoring of medium and large mammals in the Trans-Altai Gobi Desert of Mongolia for years.
The researcher works through camera capture, with the aim of determining the biodiversity of the area, understanding activity patterns around scarce water sources and identifying overlaps in the use of resources between species, using a community ecology approach.
Battogtokh Nasanbat, a researcher at the Mammal Institute of the Mongolia Academy of Sciences, is one of the local academic partners of the Mongolia Snow Leopard project, coordinated by UNIFI together with numerous collaborators, including MUSE who started the project in 2015.
Expert in bears, for many years he has been dealing with the population of the Gobi bear relic species and mammals in general, carrying out or collaborating in projects that aim to study the distribution and vulnerability of mammals to anthropogenic pressures.
