The Young Conservaton Leaders programme provides funding to three young conservationists who are already working on saiga related projects.
Sasha the Saiga is a cuddly toy that travels the world with members of the Imperial College Conservation Science group. Sasha's adventures are documented in a blog aimed at children, and promoted on facebook and twitter.
My masters project is concerned with the attitudes and social norms surrounding saiga meat consumption within the Pre Caspain (Kalmykia) saiga range. Whilst saiga numbers remain critically low, there has been a concerted local effort to raise awareness and pride for saiga conservation. We will evaluate the role of these engagement efforts on influencing such social norms.
