🇰🇬Kyrgyzstan

A Kyrgyz NGO helps woodland communities in southern Kyrgyzstan sustainably manage the planet's largest naturally growing walnut forest instead of losing it to overgrazing and degradation.

An 800,000-hectare high-altitude corridor now links protected areas across central Kyrgyzstan so snow leopards, ibex, and herders can adapt together to a warming climate.

On 15 July 2025 the Kyrgyz Red Crescent acted on a temperature forecast days ahead of a heatwave, delivering hygiene kits, food parcels and kits for children's stress to 15,000 people in the south before the peak hit.

In the Tien Shan and Pamir ranges that feed Central Asia's rivers, this Bishkek-based institute runs high-mountain observatories tracking the glaciers millions depend on for water.

A youth-founded Kyrgyz NGO turned Bishkek's invisible smog into real-time public data, then built a region-wide coalition to act on it.
