Khulan Returns to Eastern Mongolia After 65 Years

In Eastern Mongolia, the Asiatic wild ass, known as the khulan, is returning after being absent for 65 years. Fencing along the Trans-Mongolian Railway previously blocked the animals’ migration. Now, newly established safe crossing points allow freer movement across this former barrier.

Ghana established its first marine protected area, covering roughly 700 square kilometers of coastal waters in the Western region. This reserve aims to support the livelihoods of 21 coastal communities while allowing marine ecosystems to recover.

Intensive tree planting using the Miyawaki method is also underway in Canada. These “miniature forests” use native plants to create urban green spaces.

Nigeria’s Senate passed a new bill to strengthen wildlife legislation. The law hopes to reset the country’s approach to wildlife crime, as it is a hub for trafficking. While these efforts show progress, the long-term success of the khulan’s re-establishment depends on continued monitoring and habitat preservation.
