“My project is devoted to disseminating information on saiga conservation among both local residents and tourists who often come to our village to see saigas.
To do this, we will make handout informational materials, as well as embroider products that can then be sold. This will also allow us to take the work of our steppe club to a new level – in particular, to make good costumes for our theater plays about saiga.
Also in the plans of the project is conducting a summer camp.
The nearest plans are as follows:

Due to world pandemic pupils over the world are facing with the difficulties of study, but I would like to use this situation to increase their knowledge about critically endangered antelope of Kazakh steppe. Saiga Conservation Alliance gave me a great chance to implement my idea on development of online course for pupil about the importance of saiga conservation.

During my research, I plan to use photos from camera traps placed near the waterholes in the Stepnoi Reserve made during the last two years. I hope to broaden our understanding of the way saigas move around the sanctuary and use waterholes in their daily routine. Using information about the date and time of the visit and identifying the sex and age of the saigas will allow me to enrich the analysis of the daily behaviour of these shy animals.

Our project is aimed at studying the negative impact of saiga, in places of mass concentration on agricultural crops and pastures. This problem has become acute in recent years with the growth of saiga population in the West Kazakhstan region. Farmers began to complain that saigas trample crops and graze pastures. We want to study this problem and find a consensus.
