Assessment rationale/justification
Population size in Mongolia is estimated to consist of 463 mature individuals, ±92 (Adiya and Dovchindorj,2005). This taxon is currently threatened byhybridisation, disease, habitat loss, pollution, andextreme weather conditions. Generation lengthhas been estimated as 20 years based on data from Nowak (1991). Camelus bactrianus ferus qualifies as Endangered under Criterion C1 as the smallpopulation is estimated to decline by 20% over thenext two generations due to the impact of threats.The assessment remains unchanged following application of regional criteria as there is no significant immigration from adjacent countries.
