Satellite Tracking: Central Asian Great Bustard Project
http://www.asiangreatbustard.org/tracking.html
We are able to visit the sites heavily used by bustards with transmitters for habitat analysis. Photo: A. Kessler. Our Research: Satellite Tracking. These transmitters have allowed our team to make several important preliminary findings on Mongolian populations of Great Bustards. Notably, we have found migratory routes twice as long as have previously been recorded for this species! We have also identified poaching as a key threat to the species in this region. We share these findings with conservation o...
