A symposium titled ‘Water rights-Human rights the Preservation of Khuvsgul Lake’ was held as part of the ‘Mother ocean eco-culture tour’ aimed at supporting the application for UNESCO World Heritage listing of Khuvsgul lake. During the conference, participants emphasized that Khuvsgul Lake and its surrounding areas will have a positive influence on global warming and climate change with its location, resources and pristine nature. Also, the participants agreed that by inscribing the lake on UNESCO’s World Heritage list, the external and internal factors for the lake preservation will be formulated. Head of “Patrons of Khuvsgul Lake” highlighted that land allocation near the lake has dramatically increased with the development of tourism. In 1997, there were only three tourist camps, while the number has reached 117 this year with more unlicensed camps operating near the lake. Lake Khuvsgul is the largest fresh water lake in Mongolia by volume and second largest by area. It is located near the northern border of Mongolia.
