Sustainable Management of valuable arid ecosystems of the lower reaches of the Amu Darya
Basin", which is being implemented by the National Biodiversity and Biosafety Center of the
Committee for Environmental Protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, a
solemn ceremony was held to transfer equipment and work clothes.
The purchased equipment and work clothes were provided for local employees of specially
protected natural areas, in particular the reserves "Tigrovaya Balka", "Dashtijum", the natural
park "Sarikhosor", as well as the regional forestry rangers "Hirmanjo", "Siehkuh",
