ALROSA continues to implement a project to monitor deer migration using satellite collars in the north-west of Yakutia, the ALROSA Environmental Center reported.
Deer monitoring activities have been carried out annually since 2016, during the autumn migration of the population. This year, 10 deer were also tagged with satellite radio transmitters.
All new radio collars that were purchased with ALROSA’s funds are functioning and operating normally. For several years, scientists from the Institute of Biological Problems of the Cryolithozone have been using them to track the movement of deer and establish their location.
A total of ten radio collars allow to track the movement of up to 15,000 deer at a time, ysia.ru reports.
