Ecological corridor in Chatkal mountain range to ensure wildlife migration between 3 PAs (Padysha-Ata, Sary-Chelek and Alatai Nature Park).
To ensure landscape connectivity, the creation of corridors for wildlife migration and buffer zones became essential. With support from UNDP, the Department of Protected Areas and Biodiversity Conservation of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ecology, and Technical Supervision — alongside active engagement from scientists of the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic with lead of project implementing organization CAMP Alatoo — worked to establish a significant ecological corridor in the Chatkal Range of the Western Tian-Shan, covering an area of 64,000 hectares. This ecological corridor connects three protected areas of the Western Tian-Shan: Alatai State Nature Park, Sary-Chelek State Reserve, and Padysha-Ata State Reserve. The creation of this ecological corridor will promote connectivity between these three protected areas, facilitating natural wildlife migration and gene flow during the breeding season. This area serves as a habitat and migration route for several endangered species, including the snow leopard, Turkestan lynx, Himalayan (Tian-Shan) brown bear, stone marten, Tian-Shan Maral, peregrine falcon, golden eagle, saker falcon, Himalayan griffon, and more.

Potential conservation benefits in saving biodiversity
Potential reduction of species extinction risk resulting from threat abatement actions
Absolute value (STAR)
0.3% of the total biodiversity conservation potential of Kyrgyzstan is covered by this project.
0% of Asia's biodiversity conservation potential is from Kyrgyzstan.
25.9% of global biodiversity conservation potential is from Asia.
The chart below represents the relative disaggregation of the selected contribution's total potential opportunity for reducing global species extinction risk through taking actions to abate different threats to species within its boundaries. The percentages refer to the amount of the total opportunity that could potentially be achieved through abating that particular threat.
