The mountain ecosystems of Kyrgyzstan possess significant value due to their unique characteristics and ecological importance. These environments are home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including species that are endemic and exclusive to these specific mountainous regions. Furthermore, these territories have a historical association with pastoralism, which has shaped the cultural and socio-economic settings of the country. Aligned with the Global Environmental Agenda, biodiversity conservation measures such as the establishment of protected areas play a crucial role in preserving habitats for rare and flagship species. These initiatives require the active involvement and dialog of numerous stakeholders and actors within the wildlife management of Kyrgyzstan. Collaborative efforts among them and finding an ecological balance are necessary for long-term sustainable mountain development while ensuring the well-being of local communities and securing their livelihoods. Therefore, the objective of this study is comprehensively to assess and understand Kyrgyzstan’s environmental agenda for wildlife management, recognizing its characteristics, and highlighting the ongoing processes and challenges.
