“Restoration of the Gazellа Population in Kyrgyzstan and Its Reintroduction”
In the scientific and educational sphere of the Kyrgyz Republic, the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of natural resources are considered priority areas. In this context, on March 18, 2026, at 13:00, a scientific-theoretical seminar entitled “Restoration of the Goitered Gazelle Population in Kyrgyzstan and Its Reintroduction” was held in Room 221.
The seminar was organized with the participation of Askar Davletbakov, Candidate of Biological Sciences and Head of the Laboratory of Vertebrate Zoology at the Institute of Biology of the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic, who delivered the keynote presentation. The report systematically analyzed the current state of biodiversity in Kyrgyzstan, its role in ensuring ecosystem stability, and the scientific foundations for the rational use of biological resources.
Particular attention was paid to the population dynamics of the goitered gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa), its historical range, and the causes of its population decline due to anthropogenic factors. In addition, the scientific and methodological foundations for population restoration, the stages of the reintroduction process (adaptation, monitoring, conservation measures), and the ecological factors influencing their effectiveness were examined in detail.
In the introductory part of the seminar, students were provided with generalized information on the theoretical aspects of biodiversity, its importance in maintaining the functional stability of ecosystems, and its relationship with global environmental challenges. Subsequently, the topic was further elaborated through the analysis of the biological and ecological characteristics of the gazelle, contributing to the systematization of students’ scientific understanding.
In the concluding part of the event, a short documentary film was presented, illustrating the natural habitat, behavioral characteristics, and conservation efforts related to the gazelle. The visual material complemented the seminar content and reinforced the theoretical concepts with practical examples.
In conclusion, the seminar contributed to deepening students’ ecological and biological knowledge, fostering scientific thinking, and developing professional competencies in the field of biodiversity conservation.
