The precious landscapes and biological diversity of Mongolia are not only the life source and a matter of pride for Mongolians but also they have regional and global importance because they contribute to Central Asia's ecological balance and provide the homeland for numerous globally threatened and endangered species.

Protecting Mongolia's pristine landscapes and rare species provide not only a reference point against which to measure and study global change and harmful environmental impacts but also are an important regional step toward standing up to the Earth's global environmental crisis, and preserving an important biological resource.

Mongolian's traditional respect and worship of Nature (based on a deep sense of the natural interrelations between humans and Nature, which is not really of a religious origin), can make important contributions to conservation and an important means to receiving sustainable benefit from the environment.

All of these together will allow us to move beyond a way of thinking that separates humans from Nature and the misguided belief that we are somehow the owners of Nature. Instead we must follow the sacred path and the Natural Law that humans arise from Nature, and in the end we will return to it. Delivering this message to every single person is the "sacred duty" not only of scientists, researchers, travellers, and guests, but also of ordinary people, and that means all of us.
