Mongolia, one of the great pristine and most remote areas on this planet. Mongolia is internationally highly praised for its relatively untouched biological diversity. Therefore to maintain the health of Mongolia's natural ecosystems and populations of wild species has been recognized as important in both national and global level.
Today more people are dedicating their valuable time and efforts observing birds and their habitat in ornithologically least known countries. Mongolia is one of those countries in the world. Due to its wide territory, barely developing economy, and lack of human force working in ornithological field in this country, the scientific information about bird species in this country has been insufficiently documented up to date. One of the major problem facing to people who enjoying watching birds and nature, and who working with bird conservation and research in this country is a huge gap of the past and present information about birds species of this country.
Currently, over 430 species of birds have been recorded in Mongolia (see complete list of birds). Of them, about more than 250 species are migratory and about 100 species are non-migratory. Every year a large number of birds from India, Africa, Asia, Australia, and Mediterranean regions come to this country for its excellence breeding ground in warmer season. Moreover some species from Arctic and Siberia come here for winter in cooler season.
The avifauna includes some Central Asian endemic species, the Altai Snowcock (Tetraogallus altaica) and Kozlov's Accentor (Prunella kozlovi), and a number of world and regionally endangered species such as White-naped Crane (Grus vipio), Siberian Crane (Grus leucogeranus), Hooded Crane (Grus monacha), Pied Harrier (Circus melanoleucos), Great Bustard (Otus tarda), Eurasian Black or Cinereous Vulture (Aegypius monachus), Dalmation Pelican (Pelicanus crispus), Black Stork (Ciconia nigra), Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni), Eurasian Spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia), Relict Gull (Larus relictus), Swan Goose (Cygnopsis cygnoides), and Bearded Vulture or Lammergeyer (Gypaetus barbatus).
