Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Mongolia's Tost Mountains Nature Reserve protects which endangered species?"
...The local population in Mongolia's Tost Mountains long favored designating the region as a nature reserve for the snow leopard population living there. In 2018, Mongolia's parliament designated the area a nature reserve, one of four protected categories under Mongolian law. It allows for only traditional economic activities in the region, such as livestock grazing. The prohibition extends to such activities as mining, hunting, and construction. This legislation created one of the largest protected snow leopard habitats in the world. Source: SnowLeopard.org
