Justification. The Karelin’s newt, Triturus karelinii is relict species included in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation and a number of North Caucasus regions (Daghestan, Adygea, Krasnodar Territory). According to the recommendations of the Red Data Book of Daghestan, a promising direction for the conservation of the species in the Republic is the creation of new ponds and translocation of newts in them. The paper presents a program for the reintroduction of T. karelinii in the Samur Forest (southern Daghestan).
Planned activities and deadlines. The work is expected to be carried out in the period from 2019 to 2023. It is planned to clean and deepen of temporary ponds in the floodplains of the Samur and Karasu rivers to prevent their complete drying up before the end of May. For reintroduction, fingerlings and one-year-old newts of the Daghestan population from captive breeding will be used. The first reintroduction of newts is planned for September-October 2019.
Expected results. In the case of a positive result of the experiment, the first mature newts in the prepared ponds of the Samur Forest might be noted in the spring of 2021. In the same year, eggs and larvae of this species expected to be found. Ponds located in the coastal part of the Samur Forest will contribute to the further resettlement of newts in the delta of Samur River.
