Our recent focus area is in Kyrgyzstan at the Naryn River. Previously, we have been active at the Tarim River in NW China. In addition, we participated in smaller studies at the rivers Talas (Kyrgyzstan) and Syr Darya (Kazakhstan).
ÖkoFlussPlan - Our recent Project in Central Asia
Aim of this BMBF funded project is to protect the riparian forests along the Naryn River and to develop sustainable alternatives to energy supply. During the project period from August 2019 to July 2022, a consortium of five German and several Kyrgyz partners is working on comprehensive recommendations for sustainable management of the floodplains of the Naryn River.
