Site description (2001 baseline):
Site location and context
An area of agricultural land which has been replaced by steppe during the last 10-12 years as agricultural use has ceased.
The Saratov region is potentially one of the most important producers of oil in the lower Volga area of Russia, and exploratory drilling in the IBA has commenced. If large reserves are discovered, as seems likely, the IBA will be gravely threatened by the large-scale development of oil-extraction infrastructure and associated settlements, etc.
