Khovd Bird Ringing Station

The Khovd Bird Ringing Station (BRS) is a long-term migration monitoring initiative in western Mongolia, operating during migration seasons since 2019. Located near Mankhan village in Khovd Province, the station supports research and conservation by collecting standardized data on migrating landbirds and passerines. The work combines ringing/banding and broader monitoring with training activities, citizen engagement, and outreach. By building local skills and generating consistent seasonal datasets, the station contributes to improved understanding of migration dynamics along the Central Asian Flyway and supports wider conservation awareness and knowledge sharing. ## Key facts - **Target species/group:** Landbirds; Passerines - **Activity type:** Conservation; Research; Citizen science; Outreach - **Themes:** Satellite tagging; Ringing/Banding; Landbirds; Education & outreach - **Implementing organization:** Wildlife Science and Conservation Center (WSCC) - **Timeline:** Since 2019 (migration seasons) - **Donor / Budget:** Volunteer-based (mostly volunteer contributions) ## Key outcomes / expected outputs - Monitoring datasets from migration seasons - Training events for participants and partners - Public outreach and communication - Publications and knowledge products
