Abstract
The Daurian Steppe covers a vast area within the Eurasian steppe region and stretches across the three countries of Mongolia, Russia, and China. These endless steppes are filled with pictur¬esque mountains and hills, and dotted with shallow lakes and wetland areas. This unique ecosystem provides key habitat for millions of migratory birds and is home to splendid mammals including the Mongolian gazelle, Siberian marmot, gray wolf, and many other species. This year is the 20th Anniversary of the Chinese-Mongolian-Russian Dauria International Protected Area (DIPA). As a part of the anniversary the Wildlife Conservation Society has organized the International Conference on the Dauria International Protected Areas to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and scholars to celebrate the 20th anniversary, and to exchange and share experiences and research findings that have been conducted across the DIPA. It our hope that this conference proceedings will provide an update on the status of our knowledge of wildlife research and conservation activities across the Daurian Landscape, in Mongolia, Russia and China. We would like to acknowledge the generosity of USAID who has provided financial support so that this conference could be held, and proceedings produced. Finally, we would like to thank the presenters for their willingness to share their latest research and ideas. Without your efforts, this conference and proceedings would not be possible.
