The little bustard is a bird belonging to the bustard family Otididae. It is one of the smallest representative of the family, roughly the size of a chicken, and primarily inhabits steppe habitats. The little bustard is included in the list of rare and endangered animal species of the Republic of Kazakhstan and is classified as Near Threatened (NT) on the IUCN Red List.<\/p>\n

The first two males were tagged in the Akmola Region, 60 km from Astana. The researchers fitted the birds with \"backpacks\" carrying back-mounted GSM-GPS trackers and immediately released them into the wild. The tagged birds safely returned to their natural habitat and are already transmitting data on their movements.<\/p>\n

This tagging initiative will allow researchers to better understand the species' behavior, migration pathways, wintering areas, as well as key threats.<\/p>\n

Researchers from the Vernadsky Foundation and BRCC plan to continue studying the biology of the little bustard, aiming for a deeper understanding of its foraging resources and behavioral patterns.<\/p>\n

According to Erlan Makazhanov, Director of the Vernadsky Foundation, \"Kazakhstan possesses a rich biodiversity, and many of its aspects remain significantly understudied today. This creates immense potential for developing scientific research in the field of biodiversity conservation, which also draws the interest of our international colleagues.\"<\/p>\n
