Her areas of scientific activity are ecology and the morphology of birds in the wild and in captivity, as well as the conservation and restoration of rare and endangered birds by breeding in captivity. Areas of public activity are ecological education of the younger generation and protection of the environment. In 1996 she received grants sponsored by the ISAR (Open Society, USA): “To preserve our land for the future” and “Children, the future of our land is in your hands”; in 2002 a grant “The modern problems of the ecological education of the younger generation in Turkmenistan” (under sponsorship from the United Kingdom).
