Another important step has been taken in Central Asia to preserve ecological balance and protect saiga antelopes. President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has decided to gift 1,500 saiga antelopes to the Chinese government. This official news was published by the “Zakon” outlet.
According to the decision, these saigas will be released in the western region of China, with the goal of restoring the population of these rare animals and protecting them from extinction. Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed special gratitude to the President of Kazakhstan for such a generous decision.
Saiga antelopes are one of the rare and endangered species in Central Asia. They are currently widespread in Kazakhstan, and their numbers have sharply increased in recent years. Ecologists see this as positive, but local farmers, on the contrary, are facing certain problems. This year, the saiga population is expected to exceed 5 million, and the animals are causing significant damage to crops, pastures, and hayfields.
Experts note that the migration of saigas causes difficulties not only in Kazakhstan, but also in Russia. Russian farmers have appealed to President Vladimir Putin, asking for their protection and a solution to be found. This is natural, since saigas are large ungulates, and their increase may create some inconvenience for agriculture.
It should be noted that the wide-ranging measures being taken to protect animals in Kazakhstan are starting to show results. However, at this stage, cooperation with neighboring countries is of special importance for optimizing the population and maintaining balance in the ecosystem.
Ecologists and experts rate this initiative positively — this step will help secure the future of saigas, ensure their international protection, and restore the natural balance in Central Asia. This initiative also strengthens ecological cooperation and friendly relations between neighboring countries.
The fate of the saigas is important not only for one country but for the entire region’s ecology and future. Kazakhstan’s initiative to gift 1,500 saigas to China is an important step toward protecting these animals, preserving the natural environment, and solving transboundary ecological issues.
