Russia Today:
Several kilometers of Russia's border with Mongolia will be without fencing for a while to let
some 100,000 gazelles move north. Years of drought have forced them to migrate to the Russian side of the border and, in doing so, many gazelles got tangled up in barbed wire and died.
The animals are heading for the Russia’s Daursky Nature Reserve in search of food and water.
Many of the trapped gazelles died from injuries and thirst, and conservationists feared an environmental disaster. But now several segments of the fence have been temporarily dismantled to allow the animals through.
The Nature Reserve staff are busy saving the gazelles by helping them to get out of the “traps” and disinfecting their wounds. Drinking bowls for the animals have also been installed at the scene.

I wondered what they where going to do about this problem. I am glad to see that they have removed the fences.

Gazelles are beautiful animals Svet & Kyle. I never realised you had them in Russia. Finding adequate food and water must be a big problem especially if there is so many of them
Hi, Naomi!
Thank you for stopping by and your interest to this article.
Now we found more information about it: RussiaToday just published a new video on this subject. To tell short almost all of these gazelles already saved! :)))
Thank you again,
Svet and Kyle
