Regional Conservation Project
Ilenkh preserves and restores aquatic biodiversity in Mongolia's rivers and streams through science-led conservation.
Our MissionWhat guides us
Every decision we make is grounded in field research, population data, and ecological science — not assumption. Evidence drives our programs, our hatchery methods, and our advocacy.
Lasting conservation only works when local communities are partners, not bystanders. We work alongside herders, anglers, and river communities who have lived alongside these waters for generations.
We act before it is too late. Our focus is on saving endangered species that are still here — supporting natural breeding, sustaining healthy population numbers, and ensuring native fish continue to thrive in their rivers.
Conservation is not a short-term project. We build programs, partnerships, and institutions that will outlast any single season — because the rivers we protect deserve a future measured in generations, not years.

We carry out targeted research and active conservation measures — advancing our mission to protect native fish species for future generations.
Our vision:
Lead the effort to preserve aquatic biodiversity through innovative propagation techniques and fish recovery programs.
Deliver practical conservation science for the real-world recovery of endangered, rare, and difficult-to-collect species in our river basins.
