The World Monuments Fund has officially announced its selection of 25 historic and significant sites requiring attention, one of which is Erdene Zuu Monastery in Uvurkhangai aimag, according to Montsame.
The nomination of Erdene Zuu Monastery was submitted by the Arts Council of Mongolia in collaboration with the World Monuments Fund (WMF) for the 2025 World Monuments Watch Program. It aims at protecting the Monastery, one of the few remaining Buddhist heritage sites in Mongolia, from climate change impacts and training future heritage specialists. This nomination successfully passed international assessments, reviews, and independent evaluations by heritage experts.
Notably, the Chojin Lama Temple Museum was nominated for the 2020 World Monuments Watch Program. The Museum gained international attention and received technical assistance for restoration through international collaboration for three years.
It is worth noting, UNESCO added Mongolia's Mongol nomad migration, associated practices to intangible cultural heritage list.
