Habitat: Sandy soils with scrubs, bushes, aspens, birches, and other mixed threes, in high bushy thickets.

Population and threats: Threats: livestock overgrazing in the areas of the species habitat in the spring, beginning of the summer, end of fall, destroys the habitat; local residents living near the Bokhmoron, Khovd, Khalkh, and Nomrog Rivers basins cut down excessive amount of bushes and shrubs for fuel degrading the species habitat. Additional threats: spring and fall forest fires, poaching, sudden drops in temperatures, cold spells, excessive snow coverage and snow storms, preyed upon by wolves, red foxes, dogs.

Conservation and measures: Hunting prohibited since 1975. Included as Rare animal in the Annex to the Mongolian Government Resolution #7 (2012), included in the Mongolian Red Book (1987, 1997).

The habitat is partially included within the NSPANS.

Further actions: Employ cooperative conservation methods of natural resource management at certain breeding and summering habitats for the species, involve the local residents, raise awareness, provide food supply during dzud, restore population abundance by establishing experimental breeding centers in the Khovd, Nomrog Rivers valleys, raise awareness.
