Abstract
The distribution and status of bezoar goat in the Eastern Caucasus was assessed through field surveys
and compared with previous data. Factors impacting on the population were assessed, a public awareness
campaign was initiated and recommendations for conservation of the species were developed. The total
population size was estimated at 2,000. Poaching is the main threat to bezoar goats in the study area.
