🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Uvs Basin (1,068,853 hectares) is the northernmost enclosed basin in Central Asia. It takes its name from Lake Uvs, a large, shallow salt lake important for migratory birds, waterfowl and seabirds. The area consists of twelve protected areas representing the major biomes of Eastern Eurasia. Steppe ecosystems support a rich diversity of birds, and the deserts are home to many rare gerbils, jerboas and great spotted weasels. The mountains are important refuges for the globally endangered snow leopard, mountain goat (argali) and Asiatic wild goat.
