It was approved by the Bank in 2018, in the amount of US$ 10 million. The Additional Financing (AF) in the amount of US$ 21mln finances scaling up of activities of the parent project to support all Aiyl Okmotus (AOs) in these oblasts in the reestablishment of livelihoods affected by COVID‐19 and create improved access to primary health care facilities. Accordingly, financing and scope of several sub‐ components have been modified and include: (i) financing for the development of livelihood facilities envisioned under subcomponent 1C; (ii) support for improved access to health and safety of the people, and any social infrastructure that supports livelihood development under subcomponent 1B; (iii) the necessary technical assistance, capacity building and project management to implement these components. The description of project activities under these subcomponents of the parent project that follows has been updated accordingly to reflect the change in the project scope and focus. Due to the fact that the main directions and activities within the framework of additional financing are not fundamentally different in comparison with the main project, and changes are mainly associated with an increase in number of ayil aimaks covered by the project and increase in number of investments

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.

  • 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.
