GOBI DESERT

About Gobi Desert

Despite its harsh climate, the Gobi supports unique wildlife, including the elusive snow leopard, Bactrian camel, and Gobi bear. It is also rich in history, once part of the Mongol Empire and a crucial section of the ancient Silk Road. Paleontologists have uncovered remarkable dinosaur fossils, including the first dinosaur eggs ever discovered.

Human habitation is sparse, with Mongolian nomads herding livestock across the desert’s vast terrain. However, modern development, including mining and infrastructure projects, is gradually altering the landscape. The Gobi remains a land of resilience, mystery, and scientific wonder.
