CHANGES AND TRENDS IN MONGOLIA'S ANIMAL PROTECTION ETHICS

Abstract

Mongolians are people who have created a culture and history that is exemplary to other nations in terms of respect for nature, mountains, water, plants, and wildlife. In addition, it has been reflected in the written laws issued by the state and has been passed on to future generations by loving wildlife and nature. Mongolians have long protected animals in all possible ways, including quarantine, compassion, worship, and state law. Our people have long been one of the few nations in the world to have regarded nature as the basis of existence, to observe its laws, to understand its natural evolution, and to have mastered and passed on to nature the animals, grasses, and the environment. However, the decline of endangered species and ecological imbalances in recent years is due not only to global problems but also to the immoral activities of citizens. We tend to believe that it is our duty today not to destroy animals, not to change the environment, to love and learn from traditional teachings, to understand that they are an essential part of our lives, and to love the environment and learn about sustainable development.
