Dear friends, colleagues, like-minded people, helpers, romantics, idealists, responsive and caring people! It finally has happened. Our Caspian seal has been inscribed into the Red Book of the Russian Federation. A lot of efforts have been made. We have been moving towards this goal for a long time. We have done it. l would like to repeat it once again:

THE CASPIAN SEAL HAS BEEN INSCRIBED INTO THE RED BOOK

Frankly speaking, we did not expect that all this would take so much time. And even lost our hope, to be honest, and more than once. But it has happened. Our seal has a chance of surviving. Now the Caspian seal must be recognized as an endangered species in Kazakhstan. We will help as we can. And then will try to restore the Caspian seal population. Thanks to everyone who worked and believed!
