An antelope was recorded in the 'Vandob' section of the 'Surkhon' state reserve in the Sherobod district area. According to information provided by the Department of Ecology and Climate Change of Surkhandarya Province, this incident occurred in the reserve, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary.
It is stated that the appearance of this unusual animal is a result of the favorable natural environment formed in the reserve, located on the eastern side of the Khohitang mountain range, as well as a consequence of the natural migration of ten antelopes from neighboring territories of Turkmenistan into the reserve.
Antelopes are one of the species that require protection and are included in the Red Book of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Specialists note that these animals inhabit sandy deserts, semi-deserts, and mountainous areas, possessing high drought resistance. They feed on various desert plants and obtain necessary moisture from these plants.
Currently, approximately 200 animals are registered in the 'Surkhon' state reserve, nearly 30 of which are included in the Red Book of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Space monitoring today serves not only as a data collection tool but also as a key element for evidence-based decision-making, rational resource use, and sustainable territorial development. Projects implemented in the Fergana region demonstrate the practical effectiveness of this approach.
As part of the cooperation between the 'Uzbekcosmos' agency and the Fergana Region Government, a media tour was organized for representatives of the media and bloggers. The goal of this event was to demonstrate to journalists and bloggers the practical effectiveness of space monitoring technologies in territorial management.
During the tour, journalists familiarized themselves with the operation of model intensive orchards in the Kuva district. Specialists from the 'Uzbekcosmos' agency regularly track the development dynamics of the orchards, the condition of planting areas, and vegetative indicators using satellite imagery. This method allows for remote assessment of orchard efficiency, timely identification of problems, and the development of scientifically sound recommendations to increase yields. This approach contributes to increasing fruit production volumes, expanding export potential, and more efficient use of land resources.
Doston Khalikov, project manager of the Space Monitoring Information Technologies Center, reported that daily monitoring of grain crops, wheat, cotton, and other crops is conducted using artificial intelligence capabilities in agriculture. Additionally, tree felling in the environmental sector is monitored daily: information on whether logging occurred on a specific day is uploaded to the platform and provided to local inspectors.
Participants of the media tour also visited space monitoring facilities in Karkidon, Qo'rgontepa, and the Central Reservoir of Fergana. This project allows for determining the actual water needs of each hectare unit under conditions of scarcity, optimizing irrigation systems, and ensuring fair distribution of water resources. This is of great importance for ensuring food security and the widespread adoption of water-saving technologies in agriculture.
Doston Khalikov specified that monitoring also covers reservoirs: the volume of water, its condition, and water consumption by crops on agricultural lands are tracked. During the media tour, a practical training session on using the 'Space Gov Monitoring' (SGM) platform was held for specialists from organizations in the Fergana region. Specialists who had previously received training in Tashkent reinforced their skills in working with this platform.
To ensure effective and meaningful use of the vacation time across the country, broad opportunities have been created for youth development in various fields. Higher education students are organized not only for recreation in summer camps but also for special seminars, training sessions, meetings, and personal development classes. A seminar-training session was organized at a youth camp located in the Bustonlik district. It was conducted in cooperation with the Agency for Youth Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan and a consortium of higher educational institutions and rights protection bodies. This training was dedicated to developing students' competencies in the areas of leadership, digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and innovative approaches to professional activity.
