In 2011, WSF and CIC signed an MOU that led to the publication of the CIC World Caprinae Atlas. Published in 2014, the Atlas outlines the population distribution ranges of wild Caprinae phenotypes and, through stunning photographs, details the physical appearance, life history, conservation status, and sustainable uses of wild sheep and goats throughout their range.
Recently, WSF and CIC decided to expand their cooperation by renewing their MoU which includes activities related to the conservation of Eurasian Mountain sheep and goat species. CIC and WSF have extensive experience working in Eurasia for the conservation of wildlife and local communities supporting these countries in implementing their commitments under International Conventions, such as CITES, CBD, and CMS.
In particular, WSF and CIC have begun effective collaboration in Central Asia, and initiatives are being developed with the leadership of these countries to establish sustainable hunter-funded conservation programs, with the focus on Argali, Ibex, Saiga Antelope and Maral.
