“…The Volga basin is now home to 40% of Russia's population; demands on its water resources are eight times the Russian average [58][59][60], and up to 20% of Russia's wastewater is discharged into the basin each year [61]. Most municipal and industrial water treatment facilities are physically worn out, outdated, and inefficient, and high levels of pollution consequently enter the river and its tributaries, where they increase the mortality of sturgeon, especially growing larvae [62,63].…”

Although Eurasia’s Caspian basin once supported the world’s richest and most diverse complex of sturgeon species, recent human activities have decimated populations of these ecologically and economically important fish. All five anadromous Caspian sturgeon species are critically endangered, and the potamodromous sterlet is also threatened. The precipitous decline of these species is due to a combination of factors that includes illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing; destruction of feeding and spawning habitat; water pollution; and the environmental consequences of climate change. International efforts are currently underway to re-establish sustained naturally reproducing sturgeon populations in the basin. Here, we update and review the status of sturgeon in the Caspian Sea with emphasis on the northern basin and the inflowing Volga and Ural rivers. We then focus on efforts to restore sturgeon in the Ural, which originates in Russia and flows through Kazakhstan before entering the Caspian Sea. With nearly ideal hydrological conditions for sturgeon, the Ural is the basin’s sole remaining river that allows migrating sturgeon unimpeded access to potentially productive spawning grounds. The challenge of re-establishing sturgeon in the Ural River exhibits the classical characteristics of wicked problems: ambiguous definitions, changing assumptions and unanticipated consequences, tradeoffs and economic dependencies, an incomplete and contradictory knowledge base, and no straightforward pathway toward a final solution. This challenge is examined here for the first time from the perspective of its wicked dynamics, with consideration given to approaches that have proven effective elsewhere in resolving wicked environmental problems.

“…As an effective joint project between Russia and Kazakhstan in transboundary territories, one can cite the example of creating the Altai protected area in the eastern part of the transboundary territory: within the framework of the The next important problem is the organization of monitoring the faunistic and genetic diversity of terrestrial vertebrate animals of the transboundary lands of Russia and Kazakhstan, only on the basis of which can an idea of the state of populations and the stability of animal communities in this territory be made. Here we can talk, for example, about monitoring rare species of animals for inclusion in the regional Red Books of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan, taking into account the status of the populations of these species in adjacent territories [5][6].…”

This article is devoted to analysis of authors' expeditionary data, as well as literature and departmental materials on the problem of monitoring and protecting biological diversity in the transboundary territories of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan in the south of Western Siberia. It is concluded that the state of animal populations (including rare species) is affected not only by anthropogenic, but also by natural factors, which are in particular associated with changes in the global and regional climate. Ways to increase the effectiveness of environmental measures to preserve biological diversity by creating a unified cluster network of specially protected natural areas in the border areas of Russia and Kazakhstan are proposed. We propose a unified approach to compiling registers of species that are in need of conservation, taking into account the state of their populations in the adjacent territories that are their major habitat.
