Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan will join forces to restore the saiga population.
The two countries agreed to jointly protect animal migration routes, combat poaching and restore their historic habitats.
The corresponding memorandum was signed by the Minister of Ecology of Kazakhstan Alibek Kuantirov and the head of the National Committee for Ecology and Climate Change of Uzbekistan Aziz Avdokimov.
The parties plan to monitor the number of cave migrations, exchange scientific data and develop a plan for their reintroduction, including the transfer of animals and the restoration of pastures and natural reservoirs.
