Uzbekistan: Ecology

The site of the Ecological Movement of Uzbekistan, and information about its activity.

The destruction of the Aral Sea ecosystem has been sudden and severe. Beginning in the 1960s, agricultural demands have deprived this large Central Asian salt lake of enough water to sustain itself, and it has shrunk rapidly.

METEOPROG weather in Uzbekistan based on the weather forecast numerical model is presented by weather maps, meteograms and weather tables for more than 14000 cities including 108 cities of Uzbekistan.

The first Central Asian Knowledge Portal is focused on water and land resources and environmental problems in the Aral Sea basin.

The Fund is established with an aim to support recovery of the Aral Sea region after the implications of the ecological disaster. Fund’s activities are wider than just health and biodiversity issues expanding to education, income generation, enhancement of living standards, social mobilization, natural resource management, innovations, conservation of the historic and cultural heritage, etc.

The Republican contest for the best journalistic work in the field of Environment and Sustainable Development is the theme and the competition is aimed at the development of environmental journalism in Uzbekistan

he idea of UzSPB creation first appeared during the discussion with Executive director of BirdLife International Michael Rends at the time of our visit to Cambridge in March 2006. By that time Uzbekistan had joined the implementation of the International program "Important bird areas" (IBA). A non-government organization of the ornithological profile should serve as the consolidation of professional ornithologists and birdwatchers, development and activation of ornithology and nature-conservative outlook in Uzbekistan. Moreover, the experience of IBA program realization in CIS countries shows that the strengthening of partnership with BirdLife International opens a broad avenue for the implementation of the international nature-conservative convention.
