Monitoring of the Steppe Eagle Breeding Group in the Aktobe Region (Kazakhstan) in 2018–2023

Abstract

Steppe Eagle (Aquila nipalensis) is classified as Endangered (EN) species according to IUCN criteria and is included in the Red Books of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. Since the 1950s, Steppe Eagle population have been rapidly declining throughout its habitat. It is a key species for Steppe biotopes and can be used as an indicator for the state of steppe ecosystems. In 2018 we examined an area of the Aktobe region with the aim of tracking Steppe Eagles with satellite transmitters.
