An USA Coalition member, Mongolia, has no species protection laws or conservation laws. That is the lack of ability the Bush State Departmen has shown in securing good policy.
The pelt on the left is a grey wolf and the pelt on the right a fox. People make their living by killing and skinning these animals. How are they going to make a living then these species are gone from their land?
The Mongolian government needs to pass protection laws and turn the hunters into animal behaviorists and surveyors to ensure the abundant return of these magnificent species. In doing so the hunters will learn new skills, animal husbandry while studying the habits of these species in the wild and conservation management skills to ensure they and their children will always have a living in the spirit of their ancestors. There needs to be a moritorium on all hunting until the inventories are known. It will be fascinating in such a wildness in Mongolia ! Very exciting !
