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.
