The actual Hustai National Park (HNP), with its over 50,000 hectares, was declared initially a natural reserve in 1992 and in 1998 the Mongolian Authorities decided to upgrade its status to National Park. Until 2003, HNP was under the supervision of MACNE (the Mongolian first nature conservation non-governmental organization). In 2002, HNP entered the UNESCO Man and Biosphere Network and in 2003 the Hustai National Park Trust (HNPT) was established to be responsible for HNP management, based on an agreement with the Mongolian Ministry of Nature and Environment (MNE).
