News From a news agency Outcome reported
  • A one-kilometer fence has been installed at the Batay-Aral area of Kyrgyzstan’s Son-Kul lake reserve.
  • The barrier aims to limit uncontrolled access by people and vehicles to an important bird habitat and breeding area.
  • The project received support from the Institute for Sustainable Development Strategy and the Global Environment Facility.

A one-kilometer fence now protects part of Son-Kul lake, a Ramsar site in Kyrgyzstan’s Karatal-Zhapyryk State Nature Reserve in Naryn region.

The fence was installed in the Batay-Aral area as part of a project focused on conserving Son-Kul’s biodiversity and managing its natural resources sustainably.

Its main purpose is to restrict uncontrolled access by people and vehicles to an important bird area. The measure is intended to protect wild birds’ habitat and breeding conditions, give them greater peace, and reduce human pressure on the reserve.

Son-Kul is an important habitat for waterbirds and other birds associated with wetlands. During the breeding season, uncontrolled human and vehicle activity can harm the conditions they need to live and reproduce.

The work at Batay-Aral received support from the Institute for Sustainable Development Strategy and the Global Environment Facility.
