About this project
Description
The project will support improvement and sustainable use of pastures. An inventory of livestock and pasture use will be conducted. Based on the condition of pastures and their carrying capacity, pasture rotation and management plans will be developed. The plans will outline the condition of pasture resources and necessary rehabilitation actions (tentatively 30,000 ha). The project will further enable the use of outlying pastures, by stimulating livestock mobility (micro-bridges and equipped mountain trails). Migration corridors will be designed and their regime established so that SL migration does not overlap with the timing and manner of transhumance. Special passes for the SL will be envisaged in areas of crossing with roads and other infrastructural barriers. The corridors will be designed jointly with communities and Ministry of Agriculture.
Objectives
Conservation and sustainable use of Pamir Alai and Tien-Shan ecosystems for snow leopard protection and sustainable livelihoods.
