A survey of the European consumer About Irina Grigoryeva is a biologist (M.Sc.) from Kazakhstan. Her master's thesis dealt with the steppe marmot and its population in the Akmola and Karaganda areas in Kazakhstan. Her research was conducted using satellite images. Since her study, she works for the NGO Association of Conservation of Biodiversity of Kazakhstan (ACBK). During her Dönhoff Fellowship, she is focused on the development of ecotourism concepts in the Ustyurt Nature Reserve (IUCN Ia) and places around this reserve in Kazakhstan.
