USAID/Mongolia :: Programs

The Wildlife Conservation Society saves wildlife and wild lands through careful science, international conservation, education, and the management of the world’s largest system of urban wildlife parks. Together, these activities change individual attitudes toward nature and help people imagine wildlife and humans living in sustainable interaction on both a local and a global scale. WCS is committed to this work because we believe it essential to the integrity of life on Earth.

WCS Field Veterinary Program

Testing of samples collected during the 2008 field season continued during November. The first resighting of Bean Geese was informed from East Dongting Hu, China in November. The two Bean Geese that were resighted are P81, a female and P82, a male bird. Both were caught together on Sangiyn Dalai Nuur, Hovsgol aimag on 2 July 2008 (approx. N: 49.26023, E: 99.0688). Swan Geese collared in Mongolia have also been resighted in Poyang Lake, China. A whooper Swan, which was originally banded in Darkhad this past summer, was also recently sighted in China.
