The Mongolian Gobi is one step closer to becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site!
The nomination has successfully passed UNESCO’s completeness check. It now moves on to a detailed expert review. The extraordinary landscape of the Mongolian Gobi protects unique species such as the Takhi (Przewalski’s horse), the Gobi bear, and the wild camel.
Together with the Government of Mongolia, the International Takhi Group and other partners, the Michael Succow Foundation has advanced the nomination for the Gobi Desert. The path to UNESCO’s final decision will take time, but we are optimistic that the Gobi Desert will be added to the World Heritage List in 2027.
