Therefore, the Wildlife Service of "Rybprom" LLP, as the saying goes, has been put on alert. The entire team of the service, consisting of 8 rangers led by T.P. Assadilayev, has switched to an enhanced regime of work. Since the Wildlife Service is tasked with protecting fauna and its habitat. Because of this, our rangers have put in place various measures aimed at reinforced protection of fishing sites. For instance:

the rangers, assigned to specific sites, have rehearsed schedules and itineraries, hidden observation points;

scheme of interaction between rangers and representatives of the relevant services of nature protection, environmental prosecutor's office, and the police have been tested;

permits for the exploitation of 5 ranger motorboats during the spawning period on Balkhash Lake and the Kapchagay reservoir were obtained;
