For reference: biotechnical measures are currently being implemented across all protected natural areas of the country to facilitate access to food for wild animals and birds during the winter period.
The hangul, an endangered and locally distributed subspecies, is listed in the Red Book of Uzbekistan and included in Appendix II of the CITES Convention. It is also covered by the Bonn Convention as a transboundary migratory species. The deer inhabits floodplain tugai forests and occasionally adjacent sandy deserts. Seasonal movements from mountain river valleys toward foothill areas have also been observed.
For reference: the Kyzylkum State Nature Reserve was established on June 23, 1971, in the Bukhara region. More than 350 animal species occur within its territory, including 50 species listed in the Red Book of Uzbekistan.
