This grant, offered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service in partnership with the Saiga Conservation Alliance, aims to support the critically endangered saiga antelope. Fieldwork will span its Central Asian range, including Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The initiative builds upon existing conservation efforts, utilizing the Saiga Conservation Alliance’s extensive network and expertise. Direct support is essential due to the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s challenges in establishing contacts with relevant agencies in these regions, primarily due to technical and language barriers. The Saiga Conservation Alliance possesses a proven record of accomplishment in saiga conservation.
