The goal of ITG is the protection of the 18,000 km2 Gobi B reserve, which is the habitat for viable populations of wild horses, khulans and numerous other endangered species of the Eurasian steppe and the adjacent mountainous habitats. All activities are done on a scientific basis.
ITG cannot offer any internship.
“Friends of the Wild Horse” is ITG’s fundraising arm. It is a registered association under Swiss law (tax-exempt in all Swiss cantons). The board members serve on a voluntary basis. Members include individuals and institutions.
The association’s purpose is to ensure the long-term financial security of ITG’s activities in the Great Gobi B SPA.
The conscientious use of donations is of high importance to both ITG and “Friends of the Wild Horse”. The majority of donations are used for specific projects in Mongolia. Articles

Institutions
The reintroduction of the Przewalski’s horse to its last known refuge and the rebuilding of a viable wild population are only possible thanks to the support of many partner organizations, individuals, institutions, and the Mongolian government.
Mongolian Government
The Mongolian Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MEEC) finances the majority of the salaries of the administration staff in the Great Gobi B SPA.

ITG covers operating and ongoing project costs with donations made to the “Friends of the Wild Horse.” However it seeks separate funding sources for specific projects. Research grants are also an important part of its financing.
The ITG extends its heartfelt thanks for the tremendous support it receives through recurring donations, memberships in the “Friends of the Wild Horse,” and from companies and organizations! Special thanks are due to:
Peter Haller Treuhand AG in Magden, which conducts the annual audit for the ITG and the “Friends of the Wild Horse” free of charge.
Peter Kistler, publisher of the Takhi Post, regularly informs the members of the “Friends of the Wild Horse” and other interested parties about the latest activities as well as the fauna and flora of the Great Gobi B SPA.
