Caspian seal webinar, 2021
We are pleased to announce a webinar on the subject “Methods and manuals of counting the number and current issues of conservation of the population of the Caspian seal (Pusa caspica)”, which will be held on August 17-18, 2021 in an online format. If you are interested in participating in this webinar or would like to suggest a subject for presentation, please contact us at: z_mussayeva@ihe.kz
 
The Caspian seal is a transboundary species, therefore, the study of its condition and the analysis of its abundance, carried out by specialists from the Caspian countries, with the participation of international experts, should be coordinated in order to obtain objective estimates. The Caspian seal is recognized in all the Caspian countries as a rare and endangered species. Research-based development and implementation of agreed actions for its conservation has become urgent and also requires coordination.
 
Each of the specialists working in this field has the opportunity to make their proposals to this Program. We invite specialists to take an active part in the webinar for free discussion, exchange of experience and results of their research. The webinar will be held in russian language, with simultaneous translation from/into english.
This webinar is initiated and supported by the Ministry of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan and Tengizchevroil LLP.
