Geography

The Small Gobi Protected Area encompasses primarily Gobi Desert terrain, with a prevailing transition from south to north into a more desert-steppe typology. It is located in the eastern foothills of the Gobi Altai mountain range, in the extremely arid desert of Central Asia, at an average elevation of 1000 m above sea level. The highest point is Aguin Uul, reaching an elevation of 1277 meters above sea level, while the lowest point is in Oshin Gobi, at approximately 1090 meters.

The majority of the Small Gobi Protected Area is characterized by sand, natron, saline soil, and saxaul forests, creating a predominantly steppe landscape. It encompasses natural zones including arid steppe, extremely arid desert, southern desert, quasi-desert, desert, and real desert. Notably, the most important features of this region are essential water points, permanent lakes, and oases, serving as crucial havens for wildlife, providing locations for rest and breeding.
