Altai Institute For Research And Conservation Inc

The Altai Institute for Research and Conservation is a Boulder, Colorado-based nonprofit that uses community-driven, collaborative approaches to conserve the wildlife, land, and culture of the Mongolian Altai. It partners with the region's Protected Areas administration and local nomadic herders to research species such as snow leopards, argali sheep, and wolverines using camera traps, GPS-satellite collars, and fecal DNA sampling, and promotes sustainable grazing practices that reduce overgrazing while supporting local communities.
