September 16-20, 2024 Ilbirs Foundation participated in the partner meeting of the Central Asian Mammals and Climate Adaptation Project (CAMCA) in Almaty, Kazakhstan. 🤝
Partners from Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan gathered to review the latest updates, address key challenges, and plan the next steps. The meeting covered a range of important topics, including:
* Progress in pasture management planning
* Findings from wildlife surveys
* Environmental education and awareness initiatives
* Monitoring results of key wildlife and other tools methods used to evaluate various project activities
The meeting also included a 2-day field visit to the community of Karaoy, next to Ily-Balkhash Nature Reserve. Partners and journalists got to learn more about the unique conditions of this community, which is far away from the mountains, showcasing the unique downstream effects of climate change on biodiversity and agriculture.
