Biodiversity conservation of Turkmenistan - analysis of recent situation and project portfolio
1997 Full Book
The report starts with a breakdown of Turkmenistan's biodiversity conservation problems: a holistic approach is applied to identify the most important components of the biodiversity associated with the arid, mountain and oasis ecosystems. It then proceeds with a review of the protected areas network and discusses its drawbacks and inadequacy of environmental legislation on the objectives of biodiversity conservation. It concludes that it is necessary to initiate concerted actions in favour of Turkmenistan's biodiversity by the government and non-governmental organizations, which will only succeed if they have the support of international conservation conventions, bilateral and multilateral donors and foundations, as well as the general public. Also included are recommendations on major conservation measures and investment policies.
