In the Auca Mahuida Nature Reserve, guanacos migrate up the slopes of the Auca Mahuida volcano during the summer months. Here, researchers are interested in how ongoing oil development may be impacting the animals and how the broader population uses the landscape. www.cms.int/gium/migrati...

Saiga are navigating a landscape that is becoming increasingly fragmented by linear barriers. With a new road planned to run across the northern part of the saiga's migratory range in central Kazakhstan, researchers are working to understand how the animals will respond. tinyurl.com/mtn8ztwf

The saiga of western Kazakhstan have grown to reach the highest numbers ever recorded in the Ural region. Managers are now working toward coexistence between the saiga and local livestock owners and to maintain their extensive migratory range. Read more in the Atlas here: www.cms.int/gium/migrati...

"The future of saiga is still being shaped." Maps can aid planners when determining where to build new infrastructure or identify zones with a greater risk of conflict between saiga and agricultural operations. Read more: tinyurl.com/mtn8ztwf @acbk.bsky.social @cms.int

New migration map today! Elk in the Trench Valley of BC make impressive migrations from their winter valleys to high elevation summer ranges. This landscape hosts migratory elk, moose, mule deer & bighorn sheep often using the same corridors. @claytontlamb.bsky.social www.cms.int/gium/migrati...

Sneak peek: Three migration maps will be published in the Atlas of Ungulate Migration next week! In Poland's forests, migratory populations of moose and European bison are testaments to the country's ability to safeguard the phenomenon of large mammal migration. #conservation 📸 Rafal Kowalczyk
