Canteens for ungulates to be renovated in Amur wildlife sanctuaries

In the Amur region, "canteens" for ungulates will be put in order in protected natural areas. In the spring, they especially need mineral supplements.

There are about 500 salt ponds and stationary feeders in the reserves of the region. Some of them were damaged due to strong winds and high humidity. The structures that have fallen into disrepair will be put in order or replaced with new ones, writes IA PriamurMedia with reference to GBU "Ecology".

Repair work will begin in the central and southern reserves, where the feeding season usually ends earlier, the snow melts faster, and roads become passable. Then the repair awaits the "canteens" in the northern territories.

Repairs will not interfere with the work of the salt shakers, they will continue to perform their function. Hunters usually carry out the restoration of feeders as carefully and promptly as possible, so as not to disturb the animals.

Earlier it was reported that waterfowl hunting has been open in the north of the Amur Region since May 1. Residents of the region are allowed to harvest no more than two birds per day.
