Conservation of biodiversity
The scientific core of our work: understanding which species are at risk, propagating them safely, and building the physical infrastructure — nurseries, demonstration plots, a living Red Book — that conservation depends on.
- Responding to climate change impacts on native flora
- Domesticating edible & medicinal wild plants in pilot plots
- Protecting species listed in the Red Book of Tajikistan
- Establishing micro nurseries & demonstration plots
- Protecting soil against erosion
- Building an "Alive Red Book" demonstration plot
- Scientific research with Kulob Botanic Garden & institutions
Awareness raising campaigns
Conservation only works if people understand why it matters. We publish, present and open our doors so that farmers, officials and visitors alike see the case for protecting these plants.
- Raising ecological awareness among the population
- Week of Open Doors at Kulob Botanic Garden
- Publication of informative materials & brochures
- Round tables, conferences & experience-sharing
- Trainings and practical workshops
- Agro-theatres for rural audiences
Community mobilisation
The next generation of stewards starts at school. Contests, green patrols and Earth Day events turn students into active participants in conservation, not just an audience for it.
- Contests, essays & competitions among students
- Green patrols & nature corners at schools
- Celebrating Earth Day every year
- Week of Ecology at local schools
- Working with traditional knowledge holders
Collaboration with local communities
The most direct form of protection: when a household grows the plant itself, the wild population it came from gains a long-term advocate rather than another harvester.
- Domesticating edible & medicinal wild plants directly in the household plots of local families — turning residents into long-term stewards of the species they once only harvested from the wild.
