In Mongolia, there are not many hot springs. Hot springs are very useful to support local ecosystems during summer and many animal species over winter time. Some springs are used for resort purposes and treatment of many diseases. Taats hot spring is a valuable live supporting source not only for the local ecosystem, but for the entire region as well. A local community inhabiting near Taats hot spring ecosystem is given a grant to protect spring ecosystem by developing a local resort to support their livelihoods and taking some protective and preventive measures. The project is being implemented successfully. In summer of 2005 the community itself in support of Nariinteel village authority has celebrated project opening ceremony and made the spring a sacred place as Mongolians did traditionally. The spring ecosystem is now fully protected and the community is working on developing the area as locally protected area and resort for local communities as they benefited from it some 20 years ago.
