PROJECTS PALLAS CAT: INVESTIGATION FOR SAVING (Clarifying Conservation Status in Russia)
To the Pallas Cat habitats in Buryatia (about our expedition)
Pallas' Cat distribution in Buryatia Republic is bounded by steppe parts which are characterized by conditions suitable for this cat species life. Almost nobody specially surveyed Pallas Cat in Buryatia (see about Pallas Cat in Buryatia). We aimed to investigate the key species habitats situated in the main steppe territory on the south of Buryatia Republic.
