​​​​​​​Scientists from KazNU are taking part in a seminar as part of a joint international project of state, international and non-governmental organizations

Scientists from Al-Farabi KazNU took part in the International Seminar of the Forestry and Wildlife Committee of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which, together with the World Conservation Monitoring Centre of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP/WCMC), UNDP and the Association for the Conservation of Biodiversity of Kazakhstan (ACBK), is implementing the project “Supporting Kazakhstan in achieving national biodiversity targets by creating institutional and legal conditions for expanding the network of protected areas (SPACES)”. The topic of the seminar was “Territorial approach to nature conservation and preservation in the context of Kazakhstan: how strengthening national policies, spatial planning and financial mechanisms can support an effective system of protected areas”.

The purpose of the seminar was to discuss existing knowledge and international experience in expanding and managing specially protected natural areas and other effective measures to protect territories through ecological corridors. On the first day of the seminar, participants examined in detail Task 3 of the Global Biodiversity Framework, explaining the various types of territorial nature conservation and the specifics of this task.

This workshop allowed us to expand the horizons of sustainable partnership (SDG 17), but also to make a significant contribution to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG 14 “Life below water” and SDG 15 “Life on land”.
