Ulaanbaatar is an ideal site to launch an effort to support improved enforcement of wildlife trade regulations. The city is the seat of Mongolia's government, media markets, and civil society, as well as the center of the wildlife trade. Some of the country's largest raw materials markets are located to the east and west of the city. Ulaanbaatar's many road inspection points, its train station, and its airport are all strategic sites for enforcing trade regulation. Responsibility for enforcement of wildlife trade regulations is distributed among half a dozen different agencies. This report focuses specifically on Mongolia's existing legal framework for controlling the wildlife trade, and on strategies for improving enforcement, particularly in Ulaanbaatar. Before turning to those subjects, the next section provides a brief overview of the Mongolian wildlife trade.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAIRPORTANIMALANIMAL PARTSANIMALSANTHRAXANTI-POACHINGASIATIC WILDASIATIC WILD ASSBEAVERBIODIVERSITY PROJECTBLACK MARKETBORDER CROSSINGBROWN BEARCATCHINESE MARKETSCOMPREHENSIVE SURVEYSCULLINGCULTURAL HERITAGECUSTOMS OFFICIALSDALMATIAN PELICANDANGER OF EXTINCTIONDISPOSABLE INCOMEDOGECOLOGICAL BALANCEECOLOGYENDANGERED ANIMALSENDANGERED SPECIESENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL STATUTEEURASIAN OTTERFALCONSFAUNAFISHFISH SPECIESFLAT RATEFOOD MARKETSFORESTFOREST PRODUCTSFOXFOXESFRESH FISHFURFUR PRODUCTSGAMEGAME ANIMALSGAME BIRDSGAME MEATGAME SPECIESGAZELLEHABITAT LOSSHERDERSHERDINGHUMAN POPULATIONSHUNTERSHUNTINGHUNTING ACTIVITYHUNTING LAWSHUNTING OF WILDLIFEHUNTING PRESSUREHUNTING SEASONSILLEGAL HUNTINGILLEGAL TRADEILLEGAL WILDLIFEILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADEINSECTSINSPECTIONINTERNATIONAL AIRPORTINTERSECTIONSISSUESLEVEL OF PROTECTIONLIVESTOCKLIVESTOCK PRODUCTSLOSS OF BIODIVERSITYLYNXMARTENMEDICINAL PRODUCTSMEDICINAL PURPOSESMEDICINAL USESMEDICINAL VALUEMONGOLIAN GAZELLESMONITORING EQUIPMENTMUSK DEERMUSKRATNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNATUREOWLPASSENGERSPELICANPELTSPLANTPOLICEPREFERENCESPROTECTED AREASPUBLIC AWARENESSRACCOONRAILRAILWAYRARE ANIMALSRARE SPECIESRED DEERRESERVESRESTAURANTSROADROAD BUILDINGROAD DEVELOPMENTROADSROE DEERROUTESRURAL HERDERSSAIGA ANTELOPESEALINGSEASONAL CHANGESSETTLEMENTSSHEEPSIBERIAN IBEXSIBERIAN MARMOTSNOW LEOPARDSPECIESSPECIES HABITATSPECIES OF BIRDSSPECIES OF FISHSPECIES OF FLORASPECIES OF MAMMALSSPECIES OF REPTILESSPECIES OF WILDLIFESPECIES PROTECTIONSPORT HUNTINGSQUIRRELSTEPPE BIODIVERSITYSTEPPE POLECATSTURGEONSUBSPECIESSUPPLY CHAINSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTIMBERTOUR OPERATORSTOURISMTRADITIONAL MEDICINETRAFFICTRAINSTRANSITTRANSPORTTRANSPORT OF WILDLIFETRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORTATION NETWORKTRANSPORTATION NETWORKSTRAPPINGURBAN CENTERSUSE OF WILDLIFEVARIETYVEHICLEVEHICLESVETERINARIANSVETERINARYVETERINARY INSPECTORSVULTUREWILD ANIMALWILD ANIMALSWILD BOARWILDLIFEWILDLIFE CONSERVATIONWILDLIFE CRIMEWILDLIFE CRIMESWILDLIFE HABITATWILDLIFE MANAGEMENTWILDLIFE POPULATIONSWILDLIFE PRODUCTWILDLIFE PRODUCTSWILDLIFE PROTECTIONWILDLIFE PROTECTION LAWSWILDLIFE RESOURCESWILDLIFE SERVICEWILDLIFE SPECIESWILDLIFE TRADEWILDLIFE TRADE CRIMEWILDLIFE TRADE LAWSWOLVERINEWOLVESWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/27754
