In partnership with the Mongolian Academy of Sciences (MAS) we are assessing the wildland-urban interface between wolves and feral dogs in The Bogd Khan Mountain Strictly Protected Area (BMSPA) in Mongolia. Almost half the population of Mongolia lives in the country’s capital of Ulaanbaatar, which is located near the boundary of BMSPA. Due to urban expansion around Ulaanbaatar within the last 30 years more feral animals from the city are having negative impacts on wildlife in the nearby biosphere reserve, which is one of the oldest protected areas on Earth, going back to the 12th century.
