Abstract

The term “hydrographic network of Altyn Asyr” was introduced, the spatial–temporal dynamics of wetlands and wetland birds’ habitats during migration and in wintering areas was described, data on the composition, type of staying, and monitoring of wetland birds on the water bodies of the hydrographic network of Altyn Asyr was shown, a forecast for the growth of the avifauna and wetland birds’ population on the Altyn Asyr Lake was given.
