Dalai Lake Biosphere Reserve

UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, inscribed 2002, in China. Dalai Lake Biosphere Reserve, in the far north-eastern part of China, covers grassland ecosystems and wetlands that are considered internationally important for migratory birds under the Ramsar Wetland Convention. The biosphere reserve is an ideal site for research on wetland ecosystems and bird migration, with many rare species present. This region is thought to be one of the places where traditional Mongolian culture originated.
