The project is directed on research of a condition of populations of geese and brents on reservoirs of the North Kazakhstan area. The designed territory is part of the Siberian Kazakhstan Black Sea and Mediterranean flyway where in a large number globally threatened and hunting species of geese and brents concentrate. Holding field researches will allow to estimate their number, trivial and age structure, and also level of influence of negative factors. During implementation of the project it is planned to carry out an assessment of number of nested population of a gray goose to study features of nested biology.
