With the support of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection of Turkmenistan and the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Reactor Safety of Germany, a regional program “The Ecosystem Approach to Land Use and Conservation of Biodiversity in the Lower Amu Darya” begins to operate, the newspaper Neutral Turkmenistan.

This is not the first example of Turkmen-German cooperation in the protection of Amu-Darya ecosystems, including the unique riverine forests of Central Asia - tugai. Earlier joint reforestation activities in such oases were held together with experts from the Michael-Succow-Foundation, a German scientist and long-time admirer of Turkmen nature. Now, local environmentalists will conduct scientifically practical research together with representatives of the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ), which, on behalf of its department, will act as the project executor in Turkmenistan from the German side.
