Our work
Education & Awareness
A generation growing up knowing what a saiga is.
We inspire the next generation through education, outreach and storytelling, building understanding and support for saigas and the landscapes they depend on.
Context
The challenge
Many people living within the saiga's range have never seen one, and awareness of the species' decline is uneven both locally and internationally.
Without public understanding, conservation policy has little to hold it up. Education is slow work, but it is what makes everything else durable.
Our role
What SCA does
School programmes
Classroom materials and field days built around the steppe children already know.
Public campaigns
Saiga Day and range-wide outreach linking communities across four countries.
Teacher training
Local educators supported to run the programme long after we leave.
Impact so far
100k+ people
Reached through our education programmes
220 schools

Looking ahead
Where this could go next
The materials now exist in several languages, and teachers ask for more each year. The opportunity is to move from a programme we run to a curriculum resource that range-state education authorities adopt and maintain themselves.
