In September, ITG President Reinhard Schnidrig visited the Takhin tal Camp on the edge of the Great Gobi ‘B’ specially protected area to discuss the current ITG projects on sustainable cashmere use and ecotourism with the director, the rangers, and the ITG team on site and to take part in one of the regular wild horse monitoring tours.
His conclusion after the tour through the vast steppe: ‘To observe around 250 wild takhi in one day, including a large herd of over 100 wild horses, coloured in autumnal gold, makes the heart bounce!’
