Republic of Kalmykia is a subject of Russian Federation. Kalmyk people are the only Asians who live in European Russia.  This is the country of endless steppes, wild tulips, swift – footed antelopes (saiga).

Today Kalmykia has many ecological problems such as: the absence of water, bad melioration, desertification, saltiness of the soil and so on.  These are the main reasons for degradation of flora and fauna. Scientists now worry about the future survival of some kinds of animals and plants. Today already 83 % of territory has turned into desert. Degradation of Black Lands is a huge problem. Desertification is a process of degradation of dry farm and Kalmyk Republic is the most arid region of the European part of Russia.

 Our problems have now caught the world’s attention. Fifty years ago our republic was in good condition and only 9% of   its area was under degradation of various degrees. If this situation lasts further it will be equal to the national catastrophe.
