The Mongolian government established the Great Gobi National
Park in 1975 and the UNESCO designated as the Great Gobi as the fourth largest
Biosphere Reserve in the world in 1991. Mongolians consider that there are 33
different Gobi , where sandy desert occupies only 3 percent of the total
territory. The area is often imagined as a lifeless desert like in many other
parts of the world. Gobi Desert is a land of dinosaurs and it is the home for
camel breeders rich with wildlife and vegetation. Dinosaur skeletons and their
petrified eggs have been preserved here to the present day. Wild asses, camels,
snow leopards, mountain sheep and gazelles flourish here, as do different types
of flora.
