This project conducts field monitoring of nesting and migrating birds in Mangystau Oblast (western Kazakhstan), a key part of the Central Asian–Indian flyway and an area facing rapidly growing wind and solar development linked to “green hydrogen” ambitions. Through recurring Birds and Wildlife Camps and seasonal surveys, partners collect biodiversity data across priority sites such
This regional IUCN project applies a “One Health” approach to strengthen nature conservation systems across Central Asia, with the aim of reducing risks linked to the emergence and spread of zoonotic diseases. The project supports improved landscape resilience by consolidating and strengthening a transboundary network of protected and conserved areas. It promotes better governance and

This project supports the conservation of threatened raptors in southern and south-eastern Kazakhstan by combining field research, satellite tracking, ringing/banding, habitat monitoring, and stakeholder engagement. A major focus is reducing bird mortality linked to energy infrastructure—especially electrocution on 6–10 kV overhead power lines and risks associated with wind power development along mass migration routes. The
