| Summary: | The Mongolian Biodiversity Databank Workshop was held at the National University of Mongolia
and Hustai National Park from
1
st
October to 4
th
November, 2005. Participants assessed the conserva-
tion status of all Mongolian mammals and fishes using the IUCN Categories and Criteria, and also met
the other main objectives of the workshop, including: creating a Biodiversity Databank, revising species
lists and maps for Mongolian mammals and fishes, and developing Summary Conservation Action Plans
for a number of threatened or commercially important species. This article includes information about
the IUCN Categories and Criteria used to assess Mongolian mammals and fish and these outputs. The
Biodiversity Databank holds baseline data on the ecology, distribution, threats, conservation measures,
and conservation status for all Mongolian mammals and fishes. Revised species lists have been agreed
upon for the Biodiversity Databank project including 128 native species of mammals and 64 native spe-
cies of fish. Digital maps have been produced for all mammals and fish, where data exists. Results of the
workshop should provide baseline information for conservation of Mongolian biodiversity and provide
resources for researchers. |
