Enhancing Cooperation for Conservation Impact in the Western Tien-Shan | Umweltbundesamt

Following the request of the World Heritage Committee to enhance the transboundary management of the Western Tien-Shan World Heritage site, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan have signed a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding in early 2019. As a result, they committed to establish a dedicated working group, with representatives of authorities and scientific organizations that would develop a joint five-year management framework for the site. Such document would guide the development of national management plans, support transboundary cooperation and assure compatibility.
