The Interregional Association "Irbis" has provided ongoing support for international expeditions led by Russian scientists to Mongolia, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan, facilitating knowledge exchange and collaboration. Additionally, the Association facilitates scientific field studies by experts in irbis conservation from the Republics of Altai, Tyva, Buryatia, Krasnoyarsk Krai, and Irkutsk Oblast.
The Altai Republic has collected data on 40 snow leopards, and individual passports have been compiled for them. In 2022, the Irbis Association organized an expedition to share the experience of Altai conservationists from the Sailugemsky National Park in Tajikistan, where about 300 individuals of the rare predator live. The Sailugemsky National Park and the Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan have signed an agreement on cooperation in the field of study and conservation of the snow leopard and its habitats. For instance, support was provided to remote reserves in Kyrgyzstan, including the Sarychat-Ertash State Nature Reserve and the public reserve "Baiboosun Zharatylysh korugu," during the experience exchange trip of Sailugem National Park staff.
