    Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov Selected Works of Chokan Valikhanov

    SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV CHOKAN OF WORKS SELECTED SELECTED WORKS OF CHOKAN VALIKHANOV Pioneering Ethnographer and Historian of the Great Steppe When Chokan Valikhanov died of tuberculosis in 1865, aged only 29, the Russian academician Nikolai Veselovsky described his short life as ‘a meteor flashing across the field of oriental studies’. Set against his remarkable output of official reports, articles and research into the history, culture and ethnology of Central Asia, and more important, his Kazakh people, it remains an entirely appropriate accolade. Born in 1835 into a wealthy and powerful Kazakh clan, he was one of the first ‘people of the steppe’ to receive a Russian education and military training. Soon after graduating from Siberian Cadet Corps at Omsk, he was taking part in reconnaissance missions deep into regions of Central Asia that had seldom been visited by outsiders. His famous mission to Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan, which began in June 1858 and lasted for more than a year, saw him in disguise as a Tashkent mer- chant, risking his life to gather vital information not just on current events, but also on the ethnic make-up, geography, flora and fauna of this unknown region. Journeys to Kuldzha, to Issyk-Kol and to other remote and unmapped places quickly established his reputation, even though he al- ways remained inorodets – an outsider to the Russian establishment. Nonetheless, he was elected to membership of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society and spent time in St Petersburg, where he was given a private audience by the Tsar. Wherever he went he made his mark, striking up strong and lasting friendships with the likes of the great Russian explorer and geographer Pyotr Petrovich Semyonov-Tian-Shansky and the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

EXPEDITION REPORT Mountain ghosts: protecting snow leopards and other animals of the Tien Shan mountains of Kyrgyzstan Expedition dates: 9 June – 23 August 2014 Report published: June 2015 Authors: Volodymyr Tytar I.I Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Matthias Hammer Biosphere Expeditions 1 © Biosphere Expeditions, an international not-for-profit conservation organisation registered in England, Germany, France, Australia and the USA Officially accredited member of the United Nations Environment Programme's Governing Council & Global Ministerial Environment Forum Officially accredited member of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Abstract This study was part of an expedition to the Tien Shan Mountains (Kyrgyz Ala-Too range), run by Biosphere Expeditions and NABU from 9 June to 23 August 2014 with the aim of surveying for snow leopard (Uncia uncia) and its prey species such as argali (Ovis ammon) and Siberian ibex (Capra sibirica). Using a cell methodology adopted by Biosphere Expeditions for volunteer expeditions, 77 cells of 2 x 2 km were surveyed and 22 interviews with local people were conducted. The surveys yielded no evidence of snow leopard (camera trap photos, tracks, scrapes, marking places, etc.), but the interviews indicated that snow leopard was present in the area and confirmed the importance of the area as a habitat for snow leopard. The surveys also showed that the area’s habitat is sufficiently varied and capable of sustaining a healthy prey base for the snow leopard as well as for other carnivores such as the wolf.
  • Strategic Framework for Free Economic Zones and Industrial Parks in the Kyrgyz Republic

    Strategic Framework for Free Economic Zones and Industrial Parks in the Kyrgyz Republic

    Strategic Framework for Free Economic Zones and Industrial Parks in the Kyrgyz Republic Free economic zones that can be transformed into clusters of highly competitive traded firms can contribute significantly to industrial diversification and regional development of the Kyrgyz Republic. This strategic framework outlines strategies and policies for leveraging them to enhance productivity and promote regional development. The framework involves six pillars for integrating free economic zones and industrial parks: (i) using a sustainable development program with a mix of bottom–up and top–down approaches; (ii) enhancing the investment climate by ensuring the development of sound legal and regulatory frameworks, better institutional designs, and coordination; (iii) using a proactive approach with global value chains and upgrading along them by strengthening domestic capabilities; (iv) forming regional and cross-border value chains; (v) developing a sound implementation strategy; and (vi) establishing a sound monitoring and evaluation framework. About the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Program The Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program is a partnership of 11 member countries and development partners working together to promote development through cooperation, leading to accelerated economic growth and poverty reduction. It is guided by the overarching vision of “Good Neighbors, Good Partners, and Good Prospects.” CAREC countries include: Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, the People’s Republic of China, Georgia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. ADB serves as the CAREC Secretariat. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people.

    Hydrochemical Composition and Potentially Toxic Elements in the Kyrgyzstan Portion of the Transboundary Chu-Talas River Basin, C

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Hydrochemical composition and potentially toxic elements in the Kyrgyzstan portion of the transboundary Chu‑Talas river basin, Central Asia Long Ma1,2,3*, Yaoming Li1,2,3, Jilili Abuduwaili1,2,3, Salamat Abdyzhapar uulu2,4 & Wen Liu1,2,3 Water chemistry and the assessment of health risks of potentially toxic elements have important research signifcance for water resource utilization and human health. However, not enough attention has been paid to the study of surface water environments in many parts of Central Asia. Sixty water samples were collected from the transboundary river basin of Chu-Talas during periods of high and low river fow, and the hydrochemical composition, including major ions and potentially toxic elements (Zn, Pb, Cu, Cr, and As), was used to determine the status of irrigation suitability and risks to human health. The results suggest that major ions in river water throughout the entire basin are mainly afected by water–rock interactions, resulting in the dissolution and weathering of carbonate and silicate rocks. The concentrations of major ions change to some extent with diferent hydrological periods; however, the hydrochemical type of calcium carbonate remains unchanged. Based on the water-quality assessment, river water in the basin is classifed as excellent/good for irrigation. The relationship between potentially toxic elements (Zn, Pb, Cu, Cr, and As) and major ions is basically the same between periods of high and low river fow. There are signifcant diferences between the sources of potentially toxic elements (Zn, Pb, Cu, and As) and major ions; however, Cr may share the same rock source as major ions.
