The Mongolian Gobi likely houses the largest population of goitered gazelles. But still, not much is known about their movement-strategies – are they migratory, nomadic, range resident or show a mix of it. Therefore, in September 2024 a team of scientiest captured some gazelles in the Great Gobi B SPA to put solar powered GPS-satellite collars around their necks. Read the story and find the first results of this study.
Funding and support for this project was provided by the Research Institute of Wildlife Ecology at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna; Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management at the University of Inland Norway; International Takhi Group; Nuernberg Zoo and Great Gobi B SPA.
