Sofya Borisovna Rosenfeld, Ph.D., Researcher, Center for Bird Ringing of Russia, IEE RAS, took part in counting geese and brants in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The survey takes place within the international project “Life for the safe flight” of the European Union for the preservation of the red-breasted goose. On the part of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the project partner is the Association for the Conservation of Biodiversity of Kazakhstan (ACBK).

For two weeks in the Kostanay region, we have been developing a popular science film with the working title "Autumn migration of geese on Lake Taldykol". The film will describe the migration of geese and brants, including more detail about the red-breasted goose, as well as the measures taken in the Republic of Kazakhstan to protect and minimize the hunting pressure on rare and hunted species of geese and brants.
