The limits of hunting resources extraction were discussed at a meeting in the Ministry of Ecology of the Republic of Tatarstan
The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan held a meeting of the expert commission of the state ecological expertise, where they discussed the limit of hunting resources extraction on the territory of Tatarstan for the period from August 1, 2023 to August 1, 2024. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Ecology of the Republic of Tatarstan, the Institute of Fundamental Medicine and Biology K(P)FU and the State Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan on Biological Resources. Also, employees of the Executive Committees of the districts of the Republic of Tatarstan joined the meeting via videoconference.
The experts got acquainted with the materials presented, discussed a number of issues related to the existing methods of accounting for the number, determining the paths of animal migration. Information on the results of the review of the project materials will be posted on the Ministry's website (https://eco.tatarstan.ru/rezultati-gosudarstvennoy-ekologicheskoy.htm ) after the completion of the state environmental assessment.
Limits and quotas for the extraction of hunting resources (elk, Siberian roe deer, noble deer, lynx, badger) are approved annually, which allows the use of hunting resources without causing damage to the reproduction of populations. A distinctive feature of the new project is that for the first time the results of counting the number of red deer are included in the project materials. In addition, since this year, an updated method of accounting for the number of hunting resources has been used – the noise run method.
