Global Initiative on Ungulate Migration

Saiga are navigating a landscape that is becoming increasingly fragmented by linear barriers. With a new road planned to run across the northern part of the saiga's migratory range in central Kazakhstan, researchers are working to understand how the animals will respond. tinyurl.com/mtn8ztwf

The saiga of western Kazakhstan have grown to reach the highest numbers ever recorded in the Ural region. Managers are now working toward coexistence between the saiga and local livestock owners and to maintain their extensive migratory range. Read more in the Atlas here: www.cms.int/gium/migrati...

"The future of saiga is still being shaped."
Maps can aid planners when determining where to build new infrastructure or identify zones with a greater risk of conflict between saiga and agricultural operations. Read more:

Pronghorns are stymied by prairie fences. Meet the volunteers trying to help them run free Pronghorns used to race across the prairies — until people put up fences. Now, a group of volunteers is working to reconnect this divided landscape.

We've got some new pronghorn migration maps coming out soon, but in the meantime check out the impactful, long-term conservation work led by our partners with Alberta Conservation Association

New maps and fact sheets published in the Atlas of Ungulate Migration today! Learn about the conservation successes and challenges facing Poland’s migratory moose and European bison. tinyurl.com/2r4rw7hm

Sneak peek: Three migration maps will be published in the Atlas of Ungulate Migration next week! In Poland's forests, migratory populations of moose and European bison are testaments to the country's ability to safeguard the phenomenon of large mammal migration. #conservation 📸 Rafal Kowalczyk

We are excited to announce the two newest maps in the Atlas of Ungulate Migration: the white-eared kob and tiang migrations in South Sudan and Ethiopia! These maps will serve as tools in balancing the needs of both people and wildlife in this incredible region. shorturl.at/fFc4M
