  • The Relict Gull Larusrelictus in China and Elsewhere
    FORKTAIL 6 (1991): 43-65 The Relict Gull Larusrelictus in China and elsewhere DANIEL G. DUFF, DAVID N. BAKEWELL and MARTIN D. WilLIAMS Since the last review a decade ago of the Relict Gull Larus relictus, some new specimens have been discovered, observations made and photographic records identified. All the known localities for the species are now summarised. Historically, before the validity of the species was established in 1970, the majority of specimens and sight records seem to have been attributed to Brown-headed Gull L. brunnicephalus. Five breeding sites are now known. The first indications are that the non-breeding range lies at more northerly latitudes than hitherto surmised. The species seems to replace Brown-headed Gull through much of Mongolia, Nei Mongol autonomous region and neighbouring territories, but shows features suggesting close relationship with Great Black-headed Gull L. ichthY{1£tus. On 24 April 1929 K. G. Soderbom collected a specimen of an unusual hooded gull at Tsondol on the Edsin Gol (river) in Inner Mongolia, China. The resulting controversy surrounding this bird is well summarised by Kitson (1980); the specimen was initially described as a race of Mediterranean Gull Larus melanocephalus relictus (LOnnberg 1931), and subsequently as an aberrant Brown-headed Gull L. brnnnicephalus (Dement'yev and Gladkov 1969) or as a Brown-headed X Great Black-headed L. ichthyaetus hybrid (Vaurie 1962). The Relict Gull Larus relictuswas eventually confirmed as a valid species in 1970 (Auezov 1971, Stubbe and Bolod 1971, ll'ichyev and Zubakin 1988) following the discovery of two breeding colonies in the U.S.S.R Only five breeding sites have so far been located and the wintering grounds remain largely undiscovered.

Schäpe, Helena Röttgers, Nikita Tychkov 1. Territorial and geographical location Ili Delta, Kazakhstan Almatinskaya Oblast (province), Bakanas Rayon (county) The Ili Delta is part of the Ramsar Site Ile River Delta and South Lake Balkhash Ramsar Site 2. Natural and geographic data Basic geographical data: location between 45° N and 46° N as well as 74° E and 75.5° E. Fig. 1: Map of the Ili-Balkhash Basin (Imentai et al., 2015). Natural areas: The Ramsar Site Ile River Delta and South Lake Balkhash Ramsar Site comprises wetlands and meadow vegetation (the modern delta), ancient river terraces that now harbour Saxaul and Tamarx shrub vegetation, and the southern coast line of the western part of Lake Balkhash. Most ecosystem services can be attributed to the wetlands and meadow vegetation. Therefore, this study focusses on the modern delta with its wetlands and meadows. During this study, a land cover map was created through classification of Rapid Eye Satellite images from the year 2014. The land cover classes relevant for this study were: water bodies in the delta, dense reed (total vegetation more than 70%), and open reed and shrub vegetation (vegetation cover of reed 20- 70% and vegetation cover of shrubs and trees more than 70%). The land cover class dense reed was further split into submerged dense reed and non-submerged dense reed by applying a threshold to the short wave infrared channel of a Landsat satellite image from 4 April 2015.

  • Kazakhstan Is Located in Central Asia
    featureem Paul Randall leads engineering research in the development of mercury risk mitigation and containment strategies and water decontamination research for EPA’s National Risk Management Research Laboratory in Cincinnati, OH. He also provides technical support to Kazakhstan scientists through the U.S. State Department. Mikhail Ilyushchenko, Evgeny Lapshin, and Larissa Kuzmenko are with Almaty Institute of Power Engineering and Telecommunications, Almaty, Kazakhstan. E-mail: [email protected]. Another example and the subject of this article is the mercury pollution at a chemical facility near the city of Pavlodar. Pavlodar is located in the northeastern part of the republic of Kazakhstan (near Semey) and situated on the Irtysh River. It has a population of more than 330,000 people. The Pavlodar Chemical Plant is contaminated with mercury as a result of industrial activity that produced chlo- rine and alkali during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Studies have identified significant amounts of mercury pollution in the soil, water, and sediments. Organic mercury com- pounds, particularly methylmercury, are present in the sedi- ments. Methylmercury rather than inorganic mercury is bioconcentrated because organisms at various levels of the food chain better retain it. In particular, high levels of this compound were found in fish from Lake Balkyldak, which is located adjacent to the Pavlodar Chemical Plant. The mercury enters Lake Balkyldak as a result of soluble The Pavlodar Plant is Kazakhstan is located in Central Asia, contaminated with mercury bordered on the north by Russia; on the east by China; on as a result of industrial the south by Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan; and activity during the 1970s, on the west by the Caspian Sea and Russia (see Figure 1).

One direction of activities is promoting the safe operation of more than 100 large dams, most of which are situated on transboundary rivers. Many of these dams were built 40 to 50 years ago, and due to limited resources for their maintenance and the inadequacy of a legal framework for their safe operation, the risk of accidents is increasing.

  • Транспортная Стратегия ЦАРЭС 2030 (CAREC Transport Strategy
    Транспортная стратегия ЦАРЭС 2030 Новая Транспортная стратегия ЦАРЭС 2030 основывается на достигнутом прогрессе и уроках, извлеченных из Стратегии ЦАРЭС по транспорту и содействию торговле до 2020 года. Ее ключевые связи с общей программой ЦАРЭС 2030 находятся в областях улучшения связанности и устойчивости. Данная стратегия заключается в упрощении, нашедшем свое отражение, прежде всего, в отделении содействия торговле от транспорта. Она в равной степени уделяет внимание повышению устойчивости и качества сетей, наряду с непрерывным строительством и капитальным ремонтом транспортных коридоров. Нынешняя Транспортная стратегия будет реализовываться в сочетании с недавней Интегрированной программой по торговле ЦАРЭС до 2030 года. О Программе Центральноазиатского регионального экономического сотрудничества Программа Центральноазиатского регионального экономического сотрудничества (ЦАРЭС) – это партнерство 11 стран-членов, а также партнеров по развитию, работающих совместно для продвижения развития посредством сотрудничества, приводящего к ускоренному экономическому росту и сокращению бедности. Оно руководствуется общим видением “Хорошие соседи, хорошие партнеры и хорошие перспективы”. В число стран ЦАРЭС входят: Афганистан, Азербайджан, Китайская Народная Республика, Грузия, Казахстан, Кыргызская Республика, Монголия, Пакистан, Таджикистан, Туркменистан и Узбекистан. АБР выполняет функции Секретариата ЦАРЭС Об Азиатском банке развития АБР стремится к достижению процветания, всеохватности, стабильности и устойчивости в Азии и Тихоокеанском регионе,
