Lake Baikal Russian Federation
LAKE BAIKAL RUSSIAN FEDERATION Lake Baikal is in south central Siberia close to the Mongolian border. It is the largest, oldest by 20 million years, and deepest, at 1,638m, of the world's lakes. It is 3.15 million hectares in size and contains a fifth of the world's unfrozen surface freshwater. Its age and isolation and unusually fertile depths have given it the world's richest and most unusual lacustrine fauna which, like the Galapagos islands’, is of outstanding value to evolutionary science. The exceptional variety of endemic animals and plants make the lake one of the most biologically diverse on earth. Threats to the site: Present threats are the untreated wastes from the river Selenga, potential oil and gas exploration in the Selenga delta, widespread lake-edge pollution and over-hunting of the Baikal seals. However, the threat of an oil pipeline along the lake’s north shore was averted in 2006 by Presidential decree and the pulp and cellulose mill on the southern shore which polluted 200 sq. km of the lake, caused some of the worst air pollution in Russia and genetic mutations in some of the lake’s endemic species, was closed in 2009 as no longer profitable to run. COUNTRY Russian Federation NAME Lake Baikal NATURAL WORLD HERITAGE SERIAL SITE 1996: Inscribed on the World Heritage List under Natural Criteria vii, viii, ix and x. STATEMENT OF OUTSTANDING UNIVERSAL VALUE The UNESCO World Heritage Committee issued the following statement at the time of inscription. Justification for Inscription The Committee inscribed Lake Baikal the most outstanding example of a freshwater ecosystem on the basis of: Criteria (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x). -
Report of the Portfolio Monitoring Mission in Mongolia
AFB/B.28/5 3 October 2016 Adaptation Fund Board Twenty-eighth Meeting Bonn, Germany, 6-7 October 2016 Agenda item 9 REPORT OF THE PORTFOLIO MONITORING MISSION IN MONGOLIA AFB/B.28/5 INTRODUCTION Context and scope of the mission 1. As part of the Knowledge Management (KM) Strategy and the secretariat’s work plan for FY16 which was approved by the Adaptation Fund Board (the Board) at its twenty-fifth meeting (Decision B.25/19), the Adaptation Fund Board secretariat (the secretariat) conducts missions to projects/programmes under implementation to collect and analyze lessons learned through its portfolio. So far, such missions have been conducted in Ecuador, Senegal, Honduras, Nicaragua, Jamaica, Argentina and Uruguay. This report covers the FY16 portfolio monitoring mission that took place in June 2016 in the project “Ecosystem Based Adaptation Approach to Maintaining Water Security in Critical Water Catchments in Mongolia” implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). 2. The mission targeted this project for the following reasons: a) it enables to explore implications of the Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EBA) approach, including its efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability; b) it may allow drawing lessons from the valuation of ecosystem services; c) it may allow taking stock of the arrangements for monitoring and evaluation, and the value of mid-term review in adjusting progress towards results. Methodology 3. The secretariat was represented by a senior climate change specialist and a junior professional associate. An Adaptation Fund Board alternate member was also part of the delegation. The mission was carried out from 12 to 18 June, and included field visits to project sites. -

Natural wild seabuckthorn’s permanent distribution is in the western part of Mongolia’s mountainous region of Altai, Khangai and at the Tes, Zavkhan and Khovd rivers with internal flow to Great Lake concave, which starts from Altai and Khangai ranges’ branch mountains and at the Bulgan and other rivers’ valley, which have an external flow. By natural and weather condition, Bulgan aimag is located in humid cool, Selenge aimag is in arid cool, Zavkhan aimag is in arid coolish, Govi-Altai and Khovd aimags are in very arid, Uvs aimag is in arid cool region, respectively. Soil humus was in 0-20 sm depth 1.1-2.3%, 20-40 sm depth 0.6-1.7% at the research area. Soil of Zavkhan river basin had lowest humus content (0.76-1.2%), this includes Mongolian sand area and areas with sandy soil. -

A HOME for the DAURIA's RARE CREATURES Securing Steppe
A HOME FOR THE DAURIA’S RARE CREATURES Securing steppe fauna in the Daursky Biosphere Reserve Photo: Vadim Kiriliuk Adon-Chelon, ‘The Herd of Stone Horses’ – a site targeted for Argali Sheep reintroduction Torey Lakes - Russian The Dauria Steppe Ecoregion The transboundary Dauria steppe ecoregion occurs across Mongolia, Russia and China. Within Russia, the Dauria steppe spreads across the Zabaikalsky Province in Russia’s Far East. It is renowned for its high diversity of fauna including the Great Bustard, Daurian Crane, Swan Goose, Mongolian Gazelle, Argali Sheep, Siberian Marmot, and Pallas Cat. The high zoological diversity of the region has been attributed to a number of factors including a large range of habitat types and dispersion corridors, the overlap of several zoogeographic zones, and extreme variations in climatic conditions which triggers widespread migrations in many species. Despite the high biodiversity values of the region, Zabaikalsky Province has the lowest protected areas coverage amongst Russia’s eastern provinces. One of the few protected areas in the region is the exceptional Daursky Biosphere Reserve, situated near the Mongolian and China border, which unites a cluster of reserves including the Tasucheisky Wildlife Refuge. Representing the majority of major landscape types of the Dauria, the 45,790 hectare core area of the Daursky consists of wetlands and rocky hills, while the 163,530 hectare buffer zone contains mostly grassland and pine stands. The reserve also includes the significant rocks of Adon-Chelon (‘The Herd of Stone Horses’ in Buryat language), and a stand of the rare Krylov pine which is uniquely adapted to survive the conditions of the dry steppes. -
The Federal Nature Preserves (Zapovedniks) of Russia

Zapovednik “Basegi”, Permskaya Oblast, Gremiachinsk, Lenin St. 100, Russia, 618280 INTRODUCTION. The Federal Nature Preserves (Zapovedniks) of Russia. Russia and the former Soviet Union have been the scene of an unusually comprehensive attempt at biodiversity conservation through the establishment of an extensive network of protected natural areas. These natural areas include several categories of territory which today account in aggregate for some one-and-a-half percent of the land area of Russia. Territory categories include: zapovedniks - the strictly protected scientific Nature Reserves (World Conservation Union or IUCN category I State Nature Reserves or Scientific Reserves); National Parks - (IUCN category II); Natural Parks – (IUCN category V); zakazniks – natural refuges and wildlife sanctuaries (IUCN categories IV, V); natural monuments – small scale areas protecting unique biological objects (IUCN category III); arboreta (dendrological parks) and botanical gardens (Colwell et al., 1997). The zapovednik, or Russian Federal Nature Preserve, is a specially protected natural territory or aquatory that excludes all forms of management, even general visiting (except for the needs of research or protection), in order to preserve its indigenous complexes in their untouched natural state. At the same time, a zapovednik is an institution designed not just for the conservation of its territory but also for study. The principal tasks of the zapovedniks were formulated in the beginning of the last century by the Russian scientist Kozhevnikov (1909, 1911 and 1928) and by Dokuchaev (Shtilmark, 1996). -

Biodiversity Data Journal 7: e34211. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.7.e34211 Abstract Background David's myotis, Myotis davidii, is a vespertilionid bat inhabiting the wide spaces of the Palearctic region. Although previously registered in the north of Mongolia (50° N.L.) and the southern Urals (52° N.L.), data on the ecology of the species on the northern periphery of the range was missing. New information The northern border area of M. davidii in Siberia shifts by 350 km and the area increases by about 150,000 km2 , in the Ural area by 150 km. Pups in the north of the range appear from the second half of June to July inclusive. Our data reveal that individuals from the Urals and the North Caucasus are genetically similar. © Zhigalin A.
