Tarbagan, or the Mongolian marmot of South-Eastern Transbaikalia, is included in the Red Book of Russia. In 2012–2023, annual censuses of the population of this species were carried out in two specially protected federal natural areas: the Daursky Nature Reserve and the wildlife sanctuary Dzeren Valley. The areas are located in Russia at the border with Mongolia and China. At the beginning of 2023, Dzeren valley was home to about 3,110 families, while the Daursky Nature Reserve and its buffer zone had about 310 marmot families (together with the buffer zone). It was that after a decline, the rate of population recovery in individual marmot colonies after its decline can reach 26% per year, however, when marmots are settling in a new territory, the rate is only about 12% per year. The low rate of population growth may be associated with a high level of mortality from predators and a low level of reproduction. In the spring of 2023, the total number of marmots in the two specially protected natural areas was approximately 9,600 thousand individuals, which is comparable to the estimated number of the species in the South-Eastern Transbaikalia as a whole as of 2017–2018.
