Mongolian gazelle migration
WWF-Mongolia experts analyzed 3.5 years of data and found that our 24 collared gazelles are within the range of 247,380.23 km2 in Khentii, Dornod, Sukhbaatar and Dornogobi provinces. Average monthly migration of Mongolian gazelle covers a long distance during fall season, and the distance is shorter during the winter. The experts say that it is associated with choosing the wintering place. WWF-Mongolia initiated wildlife friendly passage national standard (MNS 6515:2015), which was approved in 2015. In order to mitigate a threat from fragmentation and proper implementation of the standard, WWF-Mongolia aimed to scientifically designate potential locations of wildlife crossings along the railroad to be built through Eastern Mongolia that would cut the main habitat of Mongolian gazelle, the long-distance migrating ungulate, into 4 fragments. Under this effort, WWF-Mongolia specialists put satellite tracking collars on 24 individuals of Mongolian gazelle in 2017 and 2018. Moreover, specialists conducting monthly monitoring along the proposed railroad line for last 12 months to identify the overlapped important sites for Mongolian gazelle with proposed railroad, such as calving sites, connectivity areas that facilitates migration of the large herd. Our next step is to develop recommendation for the government that provided exactly where and how many wildlife friendly passage should be built according to the standard along the proposed railroad. We already provided local administration with our recommendation from last 8-month results of monitoring in April 2019. Also WWF-Mongolia experts analyzed 3.5 years of data and found that our 24 collared gazelles are within the range of 247,380.23 km2 in Khentii, Dornod, Sukhbaatar and Dornogobi provinces. Average monthly migration of Mongolian gazelle covers a long distance during fall season, and the distance is shorter during the winter. The experts say that it is associated with choosing the wintering place. Experts compiled and analyzed all the tracking data for a period from January 2017 to December 2018. According to the reports, migration of Mongolian gazelle in trans-boundary areas has been confirmed. Over the course of this period, three collared Mongolian gazelle migrated across Russia and one to China, and two returned to Mongolia after a certain period of time. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce and implement optimal management of trans-boundary migratory routes. https://wwf.panda.org/wwf_news/?350330%2...dZYj9jmzIupzWQs

Can't help but get the feeling, that the governmental getting involved with the current migrations will have a detrimental effect on them.

Well they don't want our beef because our PM has asked for a UN led inquiry on how this virus has started & hence what (country of origin) has to do when the next one eventuates. Not trying to point fingers here - but if the cap fits! They've got their nose out of joint & have refused orders from at least 4 of our slaughterhouses (read Aussie owned), just trying to play the bully boy; as far as I'm concerned there are plenty of markets elsewhere & this is frankly what we should do! So yes Daryl, i think you could be right about the human 'locust' plague

What keeps Australia "fed" and "rich"?
Mining and agriculture. Not all the useless, fat, lazy, parasitical urban mouths.
China as a market to sell off has allowed Australia to have some of the highest economic growth rates in the world for the last thirty or so years. In excess of the old SE Asia "Tiger" economies.
Out lazy fat over paid workforce world inefficient manufacturing sectors have declined or disappeared.
So if China stops buying from us, what are we to do?
Keep endlessly spending wastefully taxpayers money, no increasing govt debt, on useless govt spending? Like our fools in govt are doing?
Even though I am in the agricultural industries, I AGREE with you. We need to, and the world needs to stop pandering to the Chinese and we need to sell our raw produce and minerals elsewhere. India is being looked to as a replacement market to China. SE Asia and Indonesia should also be considered. The Muzzies of Indonesia as just as temperamental as the Chinks though.
AND we need to develop our own EFFICIENT and productive manufacturing industries. The communist Union fools need to be dealt with. The have destroyed our secondary industries for a half century or more. We need to produce ourselves. Turn our raw materials into finished goods. No need for Chinese crap if we had a decent manufacturing sector. No need to import, we should be exporting.
Instead of goivt spending creating ever more welfare dependencies , govt should be creating twenty year plans to take targeted industries into world efficient manufacturing industries.
BTW it would be good to keep on topic. This is not the politics forum. It was a wildlife topic. I will have to shift the posts.
