Anatoly Yershov
The events aimed at raising the level of ecological culture in population were held throughout the republic on the occasion of the holiday. A big holiday was organized by the State Committee for Nature Protection of the Republic of Uzbekistan together with UNDP Office in Uzbekistan in Mirzo Ulughbek amusement park in Tashkent. Activists of ecological community, known figures of science, culture and art, representatives of ministries and industrial enterprises, farms and youth organizations took part in the activities.
Uzbek authorities are constantly working on the improvement of the nature conservation legislation and introduction of the most progressive regulations of the foreign practice. For example, they strengthened procedures in the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On protected territories” to ensure the execution of international liabilities on conventions “On biological diversity”, “On marshlands of international importance”, “On protection of migratory wild animals”. The country acts in compliance with the liabilities within the adopted international conventions. Thus, the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Republic of Kazakhstan signed an agreement aimed at protection, reproduction and use of saiga. The document envisages the coordination of joint efforts on conservation of the saiga population and arrangement of conditions for their free migration in bordering territories of neighboring countries. It corresponds with the solution by the UN General Assembly to announce 2010 as International Year of Biological Diversity.
In compliance with the amendments in the ecological legislation Uzbekistan introduced some new categories and types of protected areas, such as complex (landscape) wildlife preserves, protected natural territories and hatcheries. At present there are nine state reserves, two national parks, six state preserves and republican center for breeding rare types of animals.
They also started up the activity on establishment of the State Natural Resources Cadastre using the technology of geographic information systems to bring the activity to the latest level.
The stands in the park visually displayed the way how the abovementioned regulations and international liabilities were put into effect. For instance, the stand of the Nurota-Qizilqum information center in Yangiqishloq village of Forish district of Jizzakh region told about ecological path excursions. Besides, the center presented the stands of the mobile exhibition displaying photos of flora and fauna of the native land. Those stands toured around the schools of the region attracted sincere interest of children to the environment.
The entertainment program of the holiday in the park was eventful and diverse: they conducted intellectual and music contests, variety shows, demonstrated films on ecology.
