Wild animal populations increase in Kyrgyzstan's jeti-oguz District

Employees of the Issyk-Kul regional office of the ministry of natural resources recorded herds of mountain goats and Marco Polo argali in the Jeti-Oguz District of Kyrgyzstan.

These officials captured the animals on video during a mountain raid. Experts observing the region note a recent increase in the populations of both mountain goats and Marco Polo argali. The Marco Polo argali is a species of wild sheep native to the high-altitude regions of Central Asia.

The monitoring of these species is part of ongoing efforts to track wildlife recovery in the Kyrgyz mountains. The presence of these herds suggests that local conservation efforts or environmental conditions are supporting the growth of these specific species in the district.
