Central Asian beaver caught on trap cameras in Charyn State National Natural Park

The wildlife camera trap in the Sartogay section of the Charyn State National Natural Park caught a glimpse of the Central Asian beaver, which is listed in the Red Book of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Kazinform News Agency reports.

The red-listed Central Asian beaver is classified as a second-category rarity with numbers declining rapidly. To ensure the survival of this species, it is essential to implement robust conservation measures to protect its shrinking habitat.

This discovery proves the efficacy of the Charyn State National Natural Park's biodiversity conservation initiatives. The registration of the Central Asian beaver in the park's territory is the result of successful nature protection measures and systematic monitoring of ecosystems.
