Bogdkhaan Mountain was officially protected first in 1778 by the initiative of Khuree Van Minister (a capital governor) Yundendorj, one of the leading aristocrats of that time. This mountain itself, with its ancient historical and cultural heritage, is located on the southern edge of the Mongolian capital. It was once again taken under protection in 1957 and was renamed after “Choibalsan”. Then in 1974, it was decreed a strictly protected area and given the name “Bogd Uul”. This mountain is the southern part of the Khentii mountain range, which is the borderline between the forest steppe and steppe regions, as well as the southern borderland of the larch forest. It also has a special significance in climate formation of the surrounding area.Tag Archive for 'forest'
