To assess the economic impact of saiga populations on pasture ecosystems and agriculture in West Kazakhstan.
Conducted field observations and agroecological assessments.
Employed mathematical analysis for data evaluation.
Applied correlation and regression analyses to identify relationships.
Growth in saiga population correlates with decreased hay yield.
Greatest pasture losses observed in the Bokeiordinsky district due to high grazing pressure exceeding 62.5%.
Findings suggest urgent measures are needed to regulate saiga populations and restore degraded land.
