As part of the execution of the Instruction of the President of Russia V.V. Putin No. Pr-416 dated 03/18/2021 on the establishment in the Russian Federation of centers for the reintroduction and conservation of falconry birds in the Kamchatka Kray and Bustard family birds in the Republic of Kalmykia as pilot and a Comprehensive plan approved by Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation V.V. Abramchenko dated 07/23/2021 No. 794p-P11b, a set of measures is being implemented in the Republic of Kalmykia aimed at creating conditions for increasing the number of birds of the Bustard family
Starting in 2021, a number of joint expeditionary visits were carried out by representatives of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of the Republic of Kalmykia and employees of the VNII “Ecology” on the territory of the Republic of Kalmykia, to habitats and nesting sites of birds of the Bustard family.
In 2023, the first pilot batch of birds in the amount of 20 individuals - MacQueen's bustard (jack) (lat.: Chlamydotis undulata) belonging to species listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation was imported and released on the territory of the Republic of Kalmykia.
In 2024, the second pilot batch of jack in the amount of 20 individuals was imported and released on the territory of the republic.
The import of the birds was carried out from the "Emirat Bird Breeding Center for Conservation" located in the Republic of Uzbekistan.
The importer to the Russian Federation was the Budget Institution of the Republic of Kalmykia "Directorate of Specially Protected Natural Territories of the Republic of Kalmykia", which is a subordinate institution of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of the Republic of Kalmykia.
The imported birds, on the territory of the Republic of Kalmykia, are fully grown in a nursery, are not withdrawn from nature and have all the necessary veterinary and other documents.
In order to further implement the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation, a draft program has been developed for the restoration (reintroduction) of the population of the MacQueen's bustard (jack) on the territory of the northwestern Caspian region, which was presented at the working session of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok on 09/03/2024.
The program provides for the phased implementation of measures aimed at creating (restoring) a viable jack population in the northwestern Caspian region.
The main objectives of the Program necessary to achieve the goal include:
• Planning, organizing and conducting seasonal population surveys of jack, including photovideomonitoring; epizootological monitoring; assessment of the area of suitable habitats; analysis of the abundance and distribution of the food supply, main competitors and potential predators).
• Taking measures to preserve key habitats and improve the quality of the environment (improving the network of protected areas, combating poaching, controlling potential predators, conducting biotechnical measures, environmental education).
• Implementation of measures for the introduction (release) into nature of birds bred in an artificially created habitat (examination of release sites, monitoring of released birds during local movements and long-range migrations using GPS/GSM transmitters).
• Monitoring of the adaptation capabilities of introduced birds to local conditions.
• Creation of a Bustard family (Jack) Reintroduction and Conservation Center in the Republic of Kalmykia (selection of the Center's location, preparation of design estimates, construction, staffing, equipping with necessary equipment, mastering advanced breeding and release technologies into nature).
• Ensuring international cooperation with organizations directly involved in the implementation of the Program.

"We produce in-demand products for society and use advanced technologies to create

For the past two years, SIBUR has been supporting a project aimed at restoring the
Volga-Kama population of the endangered saker falcon in the Republic of Tatarstan, under
which young falcons bred in nurseries are released into the wild.
To help the birds adapt more easily to their natural habitat, a special method called
hacking is used, allowing the fledglings to gradually become accustomed to freedom while
acquiring the necessary skills for independent living. The project is already showing good results
— the first bred falcons have begun to successfully inhabit natural areas, and the birds
introduced this year have already started hunting.
The project is implemented by the regional public fund for environmental protection
named after Anatoly Ivanovich Shchepovsky with a grant from the "The Formula for Good
