As a senior biyelgee dancer and choreographer, I would like to express my sincere

apprec iation and support for nomi nating the Mongol Biyelgee: Mongolian Traditional

Folk Dance on the World List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent

Safeguarding.

Mongol Biyelgee is the fundamental root and origin of the Modern dance of Mongolia

and is a distinct and precious heritage of Mongol nation.

Unfortunately. Mongol Biyel gee is currently endangered due to various negative causes

and I personally worry much on this matter.

I express my full support on the restoration and development of Mongol Biyelgee. on

behalf of the Biyelgee choreographers.

(Art of Mongol Biyelgee is the dictionary of my life that tilled my life with realization)

Re: Intang ible cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding

Mongolian Traditional Folk Dance ·Biyelgee· is an outstanding form among tradit ional

performing arts of Mongolia. and regarded as the original roots and wellspring of

Mongolian national dances. their core fo rebear. source of creativity, and heritage stock.

Today. the Mongolian Biyelgee is nearly extinct. due to the both fo reign and domestic

various causes and factors. For instance. lite-expectancy of the bearers is relat ively

getting lower. young generation is not inherit ing the hiyel gee heritage and there is lack of

favorable condition for legal. fi nanc ial. and organizational environment.

Thus. the biyelgee bearers. shcolars. experts. relevant ethinic groups. local adm inistrative

bodies and individuals have been expressing their opinions. init iatives. proposals on the

safeguarding ofthe Mongol Biyelgee.

Ensuring the survival and sate guarding of Mongol Biyelgee internationally coheres \\ith

the ideas of the UNESCO Convention for the Sateguarding of the Intangible Cultura l

Heritage. Mongol Biyeleg is related to the folkm ing domains of the intangible cultural

heritage. which are. performing arts. social practices. ri tuals and testive events. as \\ell as

traditional cratlsmanship.

By inscriping Mongol Biyelgee on the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in l\;eed of

Urgent Safeguarding. there \\ ill be various possibilit ies to take consequent measures.

such as conducting researches. trainings and publ icities on Mongol Biyelgee. activating

the bearers and relevant governmental and non-governmental organ izations. promoting

and supporting with tinancial and other facilities and so forth.

Thus I kindly ask you to support the proposal fo r nominating Mongol Biyclgcc for the

Inscription on the of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding.
