WOLF SITUATION AS A BIOLOGICAL RESOURCE IN KAZAKHSTAN
Abstract
The authors observe 4 ecological forms of a wolf in Kazakhstan. They are Siberian forest wolf (Canis lupus altaicus Noak, 1911), steppe wolf (Canis lupus campestris Dwigubski, 1804), desert wolf (Canis lupus desertorum Bogdanov, 1882) and mountain wolf (Canis lupus chanсo Gray, 1863). The wolves inhibit in the corresponding areas as forest, steppe, desert and mountains. Due to hunting and reducing of saiga population and domestic cattle the wolf population has been reduced significantly in Kazakhstan. At present time the legislation in concern of wolf is directed at its predation. There are no administration mechanisms for wolf management in Kazakhstan. Otherwise, there are amendments in legislative acts observed, which are aimed at changing the current situation. The author speaks about considering the issue about introducing the wolf into the list of hunting species and prohibition to use motor transport, snowmobiles and additional light sources at amateur hunting.
