The Atlas of Ungulate Migration was recently announced Best in Show at the 53rd Annual CaGIS Map Design Competition! Thanks to our partners at the U of Oregon's InfoGraphicsLab for the making the Atlas both beautiful and scientifically robust! cartogis.org/awards/map-c...
Across Sweden, moose traverse mountains, forests and marshes during their seasonal migrations. The most impressive movements may be those that swim between islands in the Baltic Sea! Check out the new maps in the Atlas to learn more about these swimming moose. @cms.int
Saiga are navigating a landscape that is becoming increasingly fragmented by linear barriers. With a new road planned to run across the northern part of the saiga's migratory range in central Kazakhstan, researchers are working to understand how the animals will respond. tinyurl.com/mtn8ztwf

The Great Moose Migration in Sweden is underway, with moose ascending mountains, crossing roads and swimming rivers (and even the Baltic Sea!) as they head towards their summer ranges. We are mapping 5 migrations across the country - the first two are live today! @cms.int tinyurl.com/m2hx6tu3
New report on the plight of migratory species just released by @unepwcmc.bsky.social and @cms.int, finding that 47% of key biodiversity areas for migratory species are not protected. GIUM provided expertise and maps for the report's ungulate section: tinyurl.com/3ysvc5j9

The saiga of western Kazakhstan have grown to reach the highest numbers ever recorded in the Ural region. Managers are now working toward coexistence between the saiga and local livestock owners and to maintain their extensive migratory range. Read more in the Atlas here: www.cms.int/gium/migrati...
