The Great Lakes Basin desert steppe ecoregion (WWF ID: PA1316) covers the enclosed basin centered on Uvs Lake, a saline, endorheic basin (that is, no external drainage to the ocean) in northwestern Mongolia. A portion of the ecoregion stretches across the region into Russia.[1] The lake district is important for migrating birds, waterfowl, and seabirds. The ecoregion is in the Palearctic realm and the deserts and xeric shrublands biome. It has an area of 157,212 square kilometres (60,700 sq mi).[2][3]
