[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Livestock is the mainstay of agricultural production in Central Asia, providing income to approximately half of the population. In total, an estimated 72% of the surface area in the region consists of grazing lands. In recent times, overgrazing and the breakdown of migratory grazing systems have led to the abandonment of some pasturelands and degradation of others, with a loss of vegetation productivity in heavily used areas. Pastures, as specific ecosystems, are not only a place for livestock grazing, but serve also as habitat for a variety of wildlife. Thus, pasture condition affects the quality of other benefits provided by these ecosystems.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We aim to support our governmental partners in all five Central Asian countries to modify laws and
regulations, and to reform public agencies working in pasture use and management. The principles of
sustainable development, which promote both ecological stability and the generation of long-term socially equitable economic benefit, guide our work.

To encourage the sustainable management of pastures, we promote the sharing of regional experiences and locally adapted problem-solving approaches through a Regional Pasture Knowledge Exchange Network
(RPN). It sensitises pasture users on sustainability and gives support to the pasture committees. It also promotes dialogue between land users and local and national authorities.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Pasture Management Networking Platform in Tajikistan was established and is now operating as an essential part of RPN. Its overall objective is to contribute to sustainable management of rangelands in Tajikistan that fosters rural economic development while restoring rangelands ecosystems. The Platform, which brings together national and international stakeholders, including governmental and non-governmental experts as well as practitioners, has taken up its role as a forum for dialogue and facilitates knowledge exchange between its members. Up to 50 experts from Tajikistan and 16 national partners from Kazakhstan joined the RPN.
New Pasture Law of Turkmenistan has been developed with our support and adopted by the Parliament of Turkmenistan. Pasture Law piloting will be implemented in 2 farmers’ associations from Lebap and Ahal provinces. The new Law and amendments to it provide local people with better access to pastures. 20 Turkmen specialists from the State Committee for Environmental Protection and Land Resources improved their knowledge in pasture monitoring and assessment.

New developed 27 amendments to four codes and five laws on land management and administration will support investments into unproductive pasture lands amelioration in Kyrgyzstan.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
