The Gobi Desert, Asia’s largest desert, covers roughly 1,300,000 square kilometers across southernMongolia and northern China. One of the world’s most iconic deserts, the Gobi is a functioning, healthyecosystem home to spectacular landscapes that support an impressive variety of biological diversity,including many rare and endangered species. Human activity in the Gobi has existed for at least5,000 years and several culturally and historically significant archeological sites have been documentedin the region; the Gobi continues to support an ancient and enduring nomadic lifestyle. Prehistoric tracesof ancient life are also widespread, making the Gobi a hotspot for fossil discoveries. Despite a wealth ofnatural and cultural heritage the Gobi Desert in Mongolia lacks any recognition as UNESCO WorldHeritage. This article explores the natural and cultural heritage of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia and usingUNESCO’s framework for “Outstanding Universal Value,” identifies several sites with exceptionalgeological, ecological, and ethnological features that we believe meet the criteria for World Heritagestatus. In the face of looming threats from human interference and climate change, increased recognitionand appreciation of Gobi Desert landscapes is crucial to ensure the long-term protection of these irre placeable sources of life and inspiration.
