A young biologist fresh out of college sought to become an international wildlife conservationist through spending a year in Mongolia studying animals and living with nomads. With a shoestring National Geographic Young Explorer grant and a thirst for understanding, the wayward explorer struggled to establish a remote research outpost to study wolves, the world’s largest wild sheep, argali, and the perceptions of local herders in Ikh Nart Nature Reserve, a United Nationals Model Protected Area. After his tourist visa ran out, the adventurer gets temporarily booted from the country and forced to Singapore and Malaysia. After exploring the jungles of Borneo and the South China Sea, the explorer returns to Mongolia to finally begin his research expedition. This odyssey brings you through untamed landscapes to meet the diversity of life and people across these strikingly juxtaposed and wonderful Asian countries. Through this journey you will gain insight into the spirituality and culture of local peoples, as well as the biodiversity and conservation of fabled landscapes.
