Resumen
Descripción
Cold winter deserts (CWDs) provide ecosystem services (ES) and harbour unique biodiversity. Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan carry global responsibility for their preservation and sustainable use. However, measures to prevent overuse and degradation, as well as the integration of ES and biodiversity into land management practices, are missing as a result of a lack of technical capacities. This leads to ongoing losses of ES and species diversity. The aim of the project was to address these shortcomings with up to date methods, stressing partnerships among stakeholders and focusing on the strengthening of capacities in line with gender equality principles. This would lead to the improved conservation and management of ES and biodiversity of CWDs across borders.
