Project on organizing
of nursery for breeding of endangered
species of birds

Russian

Natural peculiarities of Kyrgyzstan create favorable conditions for existence of wide row of rare birds, such as Desert Falcon (Falco pelegrinoides babylonicus Sclater), Golden Eagle, Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus), Steppe Eagle (Aquila nipalensis Hodgs.), Baloban (Falco cherrug Gray), Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus), Black Shakheen (Falco peregrinator), SERPOKLUV (Ibidorhyncha struthersil Vigors), ORLAN-BELOKHVOST (Haliaeetus albicilla) and others. All birds mentioned above are rare endangered species. Till the last decades, the number of these kinds has been sizeable on the territory of Kyrgyzstan, and was not believed to lead to disappearance. Due to intensive integration of foothills, new political and economic conditions causing general worsening of economical situation, impoverishment of population, people started to catch birds and destroy their nests in order to get a profit. All this resulted in an abrupt decrease of their number. Absence of financial resources in the government environment agencies led to the fact that a support to protect these birds' nesting at a proper level is impossible. There are no institutions for purposeful cultivation and selection of rare birds in the country at the present time. All this let to a situation when the number of these birds is sharply decreasing and presently, there is a real threat of disappearance for some kinds of the above-mentioned birds. There is a necessity to organize a nursery for breeding endangered species of falcon birds. There are no such institutions in Kyrgyzstan.
