| description | A preliminary survey of ar
gali distribution and population structure in Siilkhemiin Nuruu National
Park from November 22-25, 2001, documented 238 ar
gali in 12 distinct groups over four observation
days. Of the 225 ar
gali characterized, 29 adult males, 138 adult females, and 58 lambs were recorded.
Mean group size was 20.0 (range 1-1
19, s.d. 34.0), with a lamb to female ratio of 42:100, and male to
female ratio of 21:100.
Additionally
, important winter forage areas were delineated for planning future
argali management ef
forts within the park. Increased cooperation between Mongolian and Russian
governments and protected area administrations is necessary for the creation of more detailed monitoring
and management programs for the transboundary ar
gali populations of the Sailugem and Chikhacheva
mountains. |
