DONATION: In August 2019, a Memorandum of Understanding, (MOU) was reached by Wild Sheep Foundation (WSF) and the highest authorities in Tajikistan following the WSF Conservation Strategy for Central Asia. WSF International Conservation Director Kurt Alt and WSF Conservation Committee Chairman Jack Atcheson arrived in Tajikistan in early August and met with Gulmanmadzoda Dalvalatshoh, Chairman of the Committee of the Environmental Protection, Republic of Tajikistan and Farhod Salim, Tajikistan Ambassador to the US. The MOU created a Bukharan Markhor Conservation Permit for the 2020 “Sheep Show”! The hunt will be conducted in the M-Sayod Conservancy, see map, the top markhor region in the worl for this species! The guide will be Dodi, who guided TOP 1-5 Markhor SCI records. The Bukharan Markhor program takes place in the area that just produced the new world record markhor, larger males have been seen! Consider later February 2021 when spring green- up gathers many old billies under 2000 feet elevation!
The MOU creates conservation programs that will fund the Tajikistan Committee of Environmental Protection’s conservation priorities including extensive surveys of Marco Poli, Ibex, Urial , Markhor and Severtsov argali. Conservation dollars from conservation permits will also support horn plugging, which will be a part of hunting regulations in Tajikistan beginning in 2019, and forward. WSF has delivered horn plugs for all 4 species listed above. Conservation funding from conservation permits will also be directed towards scientifically sound monitoring surveys, disease monitoring and conserving and increasing Tajikistan’s mountain ungulates. This work will be in Caprinae habitat nationwide including nature reserves/parks. Like the enormously successful North American conservation programs, your sponsorship payment for the new Central Asian conservation programs via WSF, funds are considered a charitable contribution for US citizens.
These programs should be considered a once in a lifetime opportunity for hunter sponsored conservation!
