Keywords:
forest pastures, overgrazing, pasture degradation, grazing planning.Abstract
The forests of Kyrgyzstan, despite their small area, play an important role in ecological, social and economic terms, especially for the local population. Forests are state-owned,
mainly managed by the State Forest Fund, and cover 2,613,740 ha, of which 1,123,050 ha (5.62%
of the total area of the country) are forested. About 1.2 million ha are used for grazing, making
pastoralism one of the main rural activities. However, regardless of the form of ownership, pasture
degradation due to increased livestock numbers, overgrazing and mismanagement is a widespread
problem with serious consequences for both livestock production and the environment.
