  • Highlands of Kyrgyzstan Itinerary
    Highlands of Kyrgyzstan Mountain bike tour Duration: 15 Days Season: Middle of June – August Tien-Shan Mountains are of great interest for touring by mountain bike. It is possible to see a great variety of territory in a short period of time. Roads that have been constructed for geologists and shepherds are conducive to touring. As a rule there's very little traffic on these roads yet they take you into the heart of the mountains. Crossing passes of 3500m or more and descending to valleys below makes for fun and pretty cycling. Itinerary Day 1 Arrive in Bishkek, go on a city tour and stay overnight in a guest house. Day 2 Transfer to Karakol (420 km) along the Northern shore of Issyk-Kul. On the way you visit the Burana Tower (11th century) the remains of Karakhanid's empire in Central Asia. Excursion to an open air pet- roglyph museum in Cholpon-Ata. Family run accommodation in Karakol (1700 m). Day 3 Drive to the eastern spurs of Terskey Ala-Too range to the Karkara canyon (90 km). After lunch start of cycling up along Kar-Kara River (distance around 25 km). Overnight in tents (2450 m). Day 4 Cycling up along Karkara River (35 km). Here you will climb to Kyzyl- Moinok Pass (3370 m). Downhill to the Sary-Jaz River (20 km). Overnight in tents (2900 m). Day 5 A fantastic descent on a gravel road along the Sary-Jaz river brings us to the join Ottuk river. Total distance of around 20 km. From here way uphill (around 30 km) to the Chon-Ashu pass (3825 m.).

  • 2-3 Creating a Marketing Services Center in Tyup Rayon Pilot Project (Issyk-Kul Oblast) Project Area: Tyup Rayon, Including the Neighbouring Regions and Karakol City
    2-3 Creating a Marketing Services Center in Tyup rayon Pilot Project (Issyk-Kul Oblast) Project area: Tyup Rayon, including the neighbouring regions and Karakol city 2-3-1 Background and Reasons for selecting the Pilot Project 1) Agricultural produce from Kyrgyzstan is of medium to low quality and low priced. Apart from a handful of progressive farmers, collective experience as independent farmers is still limited and the level of faming know-how and experience of the majority of farmers, who are also far removed from market information, have not fostered the capacity of the farmers to engage in farming that suits a market economy. In regions distant from large markets, such as Bishkek or Osh, the supply of produce exceeds the regional demand and the farmers have to sell to middlemen at prices that they dictate, creating a permanent structure of low selling prices. 2) Many of the processing industries lost their customers with the fall of the former Soviet Union and have gone bankrupt. Of those who survived, many lack the ability to market and are barely in a subsistence state producing juice and dairy products that have not changed substantially over the past 15 years, using obsolete technology. 3) Issyk-Kul Oblast, which is located on a high plain 1650 metres above sea level on the north-eastern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul 400 kilometres from Bishkek in Tyup Rayon, farmers are operating under the conditions described in 1 and 2 above and work extensive farmland and pastures raising primarily potatoes, wheat, fruit and livestock (principally sheep and dairy farming).

    86 (3) · December 2014 pp. 199–220 A revision of the Central Asian Scopaeus similis species group (Staphylinidae, Paederinae) Johannes Frisch Museum für Naturkunde, Leibniz Institute for Research on Evolution and Biodiversity at the Humboldt-University, Invalidenstrasse 43, 10115 Berlin, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Received 7 October 2014 | Accepted 10 November 2014 Published online at www.soil-organisms.de 1 December 2014 | Printed version 15 December 2014 Abstract The Scopaeus similis species group, distributed in Central Asia and the Middle East, is proposed for S. ferganensis sp. n. (Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan), S. gissarensis sp. n. (Uzbekistan), S. hiekei sp. n. (Kazakhstan), S. longilobatus sp. n. (Kyrgyzstan), S. triangularis Luze, 1904 (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tadzhikistan, Uzbekistan), and two subspecies of S. similis Eppelsheim, 1892, S. s. similis (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Tadzhikistan) and S. s. minor ssp. n. (Iran, Turkmenistan). It is described including bionomic and biogeographic information, followed by diagnoses of the included species, the distribution patterns of which are discussed and mapped. The S. similis species group is proposed a monophyletic clade using apomorphic characters of the primary sexual organs. Its phylogenetic position within Scopaeus Erichson, 1839 is discussed as well as the phylogeographic relationships within the species group. New country records are published for S. s. similis (Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan), S. similis incertae sedis (Afghanistan, India), and S. triangularis (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan). Keywords Scopaeina | Tien Shan | Alai-Pamir | taxonomy | phylogeography 1. Introduction in the framework of a cooperation of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin and the Institute of Biology and Scopaeus Erichson, 1839 (Staphylinidae: Paederinae) Pedology of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of constitutes a group of predominantly riparian rove Kyrgyzstan, clearly point to a rich diversity of Scopaeus beetles, which presently includes 452 valid species including many endemics.
