The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Kazakhstan is taking steps to regulate the saiga population to maintain numbers while minimizing impact on farmers. This includes mapping saiga habitats, revising economic plot boundaries, and considering other measures to preserve saiga migration corridors. The ministry is also disposing of saiga carcasses as per veterinary legislation due to natural mortality. The total saiga population in Kazakhstan is currently 4.1 million, with the number of carcasses disposed of this year exceeding 5,200.
