The Gobi Bear (Ursus arctos gobiensis) is a critically endangered subspecies of the brown bear found only in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. The estimated remaining population of Gobi Bears is less than 50 individuals. Habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation due to mining activities, climate change, and human-wildlife conflict are major threats. Conservation efforts focus on habitat protection, research, and community involvement to ensure the survival and recovery of this rare and elusive bear species.
