Portfolio of Bird Conservation Projects in Kazakhstan (BRCC / RRRCN / Eurasian Wildlife and People)

This entry represents a portfolio of conservation and research initiatives implemented in northern, southern, and eastern Kazakhstan by BRCC / RRRCN / Eurasian Wildlife and People. The portfolio includes work on priority species such as Steppe Eagle, Saker Falcon, Egyptian Vulture, Great Bustard, and Red-footed Falcon. Activities combine field research and monitoring with practical conservation action and outreach. The projects address key threats to birds—such as pressures on breeding populations, habitat risks, and mortality linked to infrastructure—while generating data and knowledge products to support decision-making and improved protection measures across important sites including the Karatau Mountains, Chu-Ili Mountains, Dzungarian Alatau, and Buiratau National Park. ## Key facts - **Target species/group:** Steppe Eagle; Saker Falcon; Egyptian Vulture; Great Bustard; Red-footed Falcon - **Activity type:** Conservation; Research; Outreach - **Themes:** Satellite tagging; Ringing/Banding; Raptors; Education & outreach - **Implementing organization:** BRCC / RRRCN / Eurasian Wildlife and People - **Timeline:** 2022–2025 - **Donor / Budget:** CEPF; WWF; OSME; GGF; Rufford Foundation (amount not specified) ## Key outcomes / expected outputs - Species monitoring and research (including satellite tracking and ringing/banding) - Conservation action to reduce key threats and support priority species - Outreach and communication to inform stakeholders and the wider public - Publications and information sharing through BRCC platforms
