Wildlife rescuers save fawn from stray dogs in Primorsky Krai

Wildlife inspectors in Primorsky Krai have rescued a spotted fawn from a pack of stray dogs. The young animal was later taken to a rehabilitation centre for care. Meanwhile, Russia’s peregrine falcon population remains critically small, with only a few thousand birds in the wild. The fawn was found in distress after being cornered by stray dogs. Inspectors intervened quickly and safely removed it from the area. It was then transported to the Tiger Center for Wild Animal Rehabilitation for treatment and recovery.

Separately, Russia’s peregrine falcon population is estimated at just 2,000 to 3,000 individuals. Known as the fastest bird of prey, it can dive at speeds up to 320 km/h. However, it avoids attacking prey on the ground, as a missed strike could prove fatal. The fawn is now receiving care at the rehabilitation centre. Conservation efforts continue for the peregrine falcon, a species facing significant population challenges. Both cases highlight the ongoing work to protect vulnerable wildlife in the region.
