🌎Today, May 5 – International Day of the Saiga!
On this day in 2010, representatives of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Russia organized “SOS Saygaq!” in Uralsk. was founded in the seminar organized within the project.
The saiga is an unusual steppe antelope that survived the mammoths and ice age that appeared 50-70 thousand years ago. However, such a long history did not help its survival in the modern world – the species is considered endangered.
In order to increase the saiga population, in 2016, the “Saigachiy” complex (landscape) reserve with a total area of 628.3 thousand hectares and a protection zone of 219.8 thousand hectares was established in Moynaq and Kungirot districts of Karakalpakstan.
