Saudi Arabia settles 35 species of animals and birds in nature reserve to preserve biodiversity

The BRICS countries pay a lot of attention to preserving the diversity of the planet's flora and fauna.

In Kavir National Park, located in the west of Semnan Province in Iran, the population of onagers (Iranian zebras) has increased to more than 50 individuals. The revival of this valuable species, which was on the verge of extinction, was made possible thanks to the coordinated work of employees of one of the most important biosphere reserves, according to IRNA, a partner of TV BRICS.

According to the Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority, more than 100 species of migratory birds travel thousands of kilometres each year from Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North Africa to Ethiopia. Ethiopia's conservation initiatives are aimed at preserving a refuge for birds that stay here from October to May, according to Fana Media Corporation, a partner of TV BRICS.

Russia and China have decided to join forces to preserve the population of the white crane, or stork. A memorandum to this effect was signed by representatives of the Lenskie Stolby National Park (which manages the National Park Kytalyk in Yakutia, where 70 per cent of the world's white stork nests are concentrated) and the Poyang Lake National Nature Reserve (China), according to the press service of the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
