Sandyk distant pasture, Suusamyr valley (Kyrgyzstan)

Cost-effective pasture management practices in Kyrgyzstan are helping to reduce negative impacts of livestock grazing on land and improve rural livelihoods.

 

The project is also working on attracting farmers to distant pastures by installing green technologies, including six mini hydropower stations and 18 solar energy stations. This equipment helps to improve the livelihoods of families and shepherds working in distant pastures.
