Sequence - The Golden Steppe of north Kazakhstan might look empty, but get a little closer, and you’ll find there are wild animals roaming these plains. These are Saiga Antelope and in 2013, they were a critically endangered species. Now, thanks to the Altyn Dala Conservation Initiative, the population has risen from 20,000 to a staggering 2.86 million. This is wildlife conservation on an epic scale.
