Ecoregional Conservation Plan for the Caucasus 2020 Edition Ecoregional Conservation Plan for the Caucasus 2020 Edition ECOREGIONAL CONSERVATION PLAN FOR THE CAUCASUS 2020 EDITION ECOREGIONAL CONSERVATION PLAN FOR THE CAUCASUS 2020 EDITION TBILISI 2020 The 2020 Edition of the Ecoregional Conservation Plan (ECP) for the Caucasus is published in two parts. This, the first and main part, presents an overview of the Ecoregion’s biodiversity and the threats which it faces, describes the main actors in the field of biodiversity conservation in the Caucasus, explains the role of the ECP as a regional instrument for implementing international agreements related to biodiversity, discusses the main conceptual approaches for developing this edition of ECP, and presents the plan itself with its targets and actions. The second part of the ECP presents supplementary reports that include an explanation of the rationale for the Ecoregion’s boundaries, a detailed description of the Conservation Landscapes and Key Biodiversity Areas which form the basis of the Ecological Network envisaged by the ECP, and information about the status of some of the Ecoregion’s threatened species. The Ecoregional Conservation Plan for the Caucasus has been revised in the frame of the Transboundary Joint Secretariat - Phase III Project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through KfW Development Bank and implemented by WWF Caucasus Programme Office with the involvement of the AHT GROUP AG - REC Caucasus Consortium.

  • The Dissemination of Magnitotactic Microorganisms in the Water Reservoirs of Georgia
    Russian Journal of Biological Research, 2018, 5(1) Copyright © 2018 by Academic Publishing House Researcher s.r.o. Published in the Slovak Republic Russian Journal of Biological Research Has been issued since 2014. E-ISSN: 2413-7413 2018, 5(1): 6-9 DOI: 10.13187/ejbr.2018.1.6 www.ejournal23.com The Dissemination of Magnitotactic Microorganisms in the Water Reservoirs of Georgia Magda D. Davitashvili a , *, Nana K. Natsvlishvili a, Gela S. Azikuri a a Iakob Gogebashvili Telavi State University, Georgia Abstract A search for magnetotactic bacteria was conducted in several water reservoirs of Georgia. At least five species of magnitotactic microorganisms reacting to geomagnetic field have been found. The majority of the organisms move in northern direction. Light and electron microscopic studies of the morphological features of these microorganisms have indicated that all magnetotactic cells contain magnetic domains, so-called magnetosomes. The shape, dimensions and intracellular guantity of these organeles are species – specific. Keywords: magnitotactic microorganisms, magnetic domains, magnetosomes, magnetotaxis, eutrophic lakes, microaerophiles, obligate anaerobes, biogenic magnetitis, enriched culture. 1. Introduction Microorganisms are one of the most interesting and at the same time rarely studied phenomena of the microbial world; they are oriented in the earth's magnetic field and are moving in the direction of magnetic lines of this field. These microbes i. e. Magnetotactic bacteria were discovered by Blakemore in 1975 (Lins de Barro, Eskuivel', 1989). During the last decade a number of researchers have identified some morpho-physiological and biochemical properties of such bacteria (Balkwill, Maratea, 1980; Bazylinski et al., 1988; Blakemore, 1975; Blakemore, 1932).

  • The Diversity and Abundance of Aquatic Insects in 5 Major Lakes of South Georgia
    The diversity and abundance of aquatic insects in 5 major lakes of South Georgia Bella Japoshvili, Zhanetta Shubitidze, Ani Bikashvili, Sophio Gabelashvili and Levan Mumladze Ilia State University Institute of Zoology Lab of Hydrobiology and Ichthyology Tbilisi, Georgia 8 September 2016 Tulcea Javakheti highland covers western part of South Georgian upland, which is surrounded by Trialeti range from the north and Samsar-Kechuti (Javakheti range) volcanic-tectonic highland from the east. Georgian-Turkish and Georgian-Armenian borders represent the southern margins of the region, while the Mtkvari Gorge is its western limit. Javakheti Region is characterized with uplifted plain relief on 1500-2200 m a.s.l. and less continental climate supports a vast amount of freshwater habitats (more than 60 lakes, mires and rivers). Javakheti upland is eminent by multitude of freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity, although much of the animal groups (especially invertebrate fauna) is poorly known. E.g. aquatic insects which represents the most diverse and important groups of freshwater ecosystems is strongly understudied in the area. Paravani Lake is located at an altitude of 2080 m. a.s.l, is the biggest lake for the country by its surface area 37.5 km², with its maximum depth reaching 3.3. m. Paravani lake is connected to the Saghamo Lake (4.8 km²) by the river Paravaini. Lake Khanchali is located in a large hallow (length 9 km) west of Ninostminda. The lake is very shallow. Khanchali was 5th largest lake in the country with the total area 13.3 km ² until more than 2/3 of it was drained.

  • A Brief History of Kabarda
    A Brief History of Kabarda [from the Seventh Century AD] Amjad Jaimoukha T he Russians have been writing Kabardian (and Circassian) history according to their colonial prescriptions for more than a century, ever since they occupied Circassia in the middle years of the 19th century. Simplistic and oftentimes ridiculous accounts of this history were produced in the course of this time. Until this day, these historiographies, with added clauses to reduce the level of inanity and circumvent the rampant contradictions, constitute the official historical narrative in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (and with slight variations in the other ‘Circassian’ republics, namely the Karachai-Cherkess Republic and the Republic of Adigea). For one, the Kabardians were deemed to have opted to join Russia in the 16th century (much more on this ‘Union’ in the course of this article). In 1957, big celebrations were held in Kabarda commemorating the 400th anniversary of the ‘joyful’ event that saved the Kabardians from perdition. A statue was erected as a symbol of the fictitious union of Kabarda with Russia in downtown Nalchik. The Circassian maiden with an uplifted scroll is exquisite Gwascheney (or Gwaschene; Гуащэней, е Гуащэнэ), daughter of Temryuk Idar (Teimriqwe Yidar; Идар и къуэ Темрыкъуэ), who was betrothed to Ivan IV (1530-1584) on 21 August 1561 AD, to cement the treaty between Temryuk, Prince of Princes of Kabarda, and Ivan the Terrible, ‘Tsar of All Russia’.1 Tsarina Maria Temryukovna (Мария Темрюковна; 1544-1569), as was Gwascheney 1 The corresponding monument amongst the Western Circassians (Adigeans) was built in 1957 in Friendship Square in Maikop, the republican capital, “in honour of the 400th anniversary of the ‘Military and Political Union’ between the Russian State and Circassia”.

  • Status of Egyptian Vulture Neophron Percnopterus in the North Caucasus, Russian Federation GS Dzhamirzoev & SA Bukreev
    Status of Egyptian Vulture Neophron percnopterus in the North Caucasus, Russian Federation GS DZHAMIRZOEV & SA BUKREEV The Egyptian Vulture Neophron percnopterus is a widely distributed species in south- ern Europe, northern Africa and southern Asia. However, its numbers have declined throughout the major part of its Western Palearctic range (Burfield & van Bommel 2004), including Russia (Til’ba 2001). It is included in the Red Data Book of Russia (cat- egory 3, ‘rare species’). Numbers in Europe are estimated at 3500–5600 pairs (Burfield & van Bommel 2004). In Russia the species breeds only in the North Caucasus where the numbers are estimated at 70–120 pairs (Mischenko et al 2004, Belik 2005). The Egyptian Vulture (Plates 1 & 2) is a breeding summer visitor to the North Plate 1.

Egyptian Vultures occur throughout the mountainous parts of the North Caucasus and move into adjacent plains. The species breeds in Krasnodar krai, Adygeya republic, Stavropol krai, Karachaevo-Cherkessia republic, Kabardino-Balkar republic, North Osetia-Alania republic, republic of Ingushetia, Chechen republic and the Daghestan republic. Wandering individuals may reach north to the Kalmykia republic (Figure 1) where some birds were seen at fawning sites of the Saiga antelope Saiga tatarica (Bliznyuk 2004). The Egyptian Vulture is also a very rare vagrant north to the Manych-Gudilo lake area including Rostov oblast (Minoransky et al 2006).

  • The Mammals of the Caucasus
    planifrons Falc. and Equus stenonis Cocchi have been identified. The breccia is underlain by a layer of doleritic lava and is covered by lacustrine sands and clays. The lake sediments are overlain by a layer of dolorite (Zaridze and Tatrishvili, 1948). Thus, in that area, the mammals lived and died during a period when the volcanos in the Lesser Caucasus were dornnant.
