THE ROLE OF PUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS IN ADDRESSING THE ISSUES OF NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN THE ARAL SEA REGION
On December 17, an informational meeting was held with members of the territorial branch of the National Association of NGOs of Uzbekistan in the Republic of Karakalpakstan. The event took place within the framework of a joint project implemented by the Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection, and Climate Change of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The project, titled “Conservation and Management of Lakes, Wetlands, and Coastal Corridors as a Foundation for a Sustainable, Land Degradation-Neutral Landscape in the Aral Sea Basin Supporting Sustainable Livelihoods” (Aral Wetlands), aims to improve ecosystem stability and livelihoods in the basins of the Lower Amu Darya and the Aral Sea. This is achieved by preventing soil degradation and integrating land and water resource management in productive landscapes around protected areas, key biodiversity areas, and key ornithological territories.
Public environmental organizations, whose mission is to protect the environment, play and should continue to play a significant role in addressing these issues. In the Aral Sea region, approximately 30 environmental public organizations with diverse activities are actively and successfully operating.
The role of public environmental organizations is primarily manifested in drawing public attention to pressing issues and shaping environmental awareness. Public engagement in addressing socio-environmental problems directly depends not only on the population’s level of environmental culture but also on factors such as the existence of legislation enabling participation in socially significant decision-making, awareness of the environmental state, and the interaction between public environmental organizations and the population.
The informational meeting, held in a hybrid format (with online participation options), brought together leaders of public organizations from the Republic of Karakalpakstan and Khorezm region, staff of relevant governmental agencies and universities, as well as representatives (staff and experts) of the Aral Wetlands project and the media. During the event, project staff and experts presented the achievements of the project and emphasized the importance of sustainable management of natural resources, including the governance of protected areas.
The awareness-raising component includes special events in each target district to initially increase understanding of land degradation neutrality (LDN) and the importance of incorporating biodiversity conservation considerations into agricultural practices to sustain local income sources. Within this framework, 20 informational and educational events are planned across the NABAM landscape regions (Bukhara, Khorezm, and Karakalpakstan). These events target farmers, shepherds, community members, educational and advisory service representatives, and local authorities to disseminate and replicate project experiences across various themes.
