Description :

The proposed project will establish the basis for the development and testing of an integrated and participatory approach to the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity in three priority wetland sites. The three sites lie along two globally significant migratory flyways and each enables the project to demonstrate solutions to different issues affecting Kazakhstan’s wetland biodiversity resources. In doing so, it will assist the government to meet its commitments under the Ramsar Convention, due to be signed in 2004.
