In South Kyrgyzstan, the branches ofJunipertrees are commonly burnt by the local population to clean the air in the yurta and protect thefamily against thebad eye .

In 2005, theproject activities have been focused on the elaboration of two model management plans, one in the Nookat leshoze, and the other in the KyrgyzAta National Park.

The methodologyestablished byhas been developed, with a full participation of most of the local stakeholders: the villagers, questioned through a Village Land Use Planning (VLUP) procedure; the local administration (Аïlokmot, Rayon), in charge o land use and local development as a whole; the local Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) present in the area; the scientists (especially the ecologists from the Forest Research Institute of Bishkek); and of course the forest officers at various levels.

The choice of objectives and strategic lines in this new generation o management plans in forestry have resulted from very active, sometimes controversial and disputable, common discussions, but in all cases, the debate has led to a compromise among the various interests, on the implementation of which each party has solemnly declared to be committed.

Proceeding this way, theproject has tried to fit as much as possible to the main elements of new modes of governance prescribed for the introduction by the international conferences on forests and environmental issues, namely: transparency, participation for a deliberative decision making, intersectoral linkages, articulation etween various decision makers at different levels, and promotion o a new kind of expertise based on ecological and social knowledge.

These twofinalised management plans have been presented and discussed during the2006 annualworkshop, heldin Osh, from April 19 to 21, 2006. A special booklet, to be edited in both Russian and English languages, will provide “Guidelines o nte ratedForest Manaement Plans Formulation” on this example of Juniper forests of South Kyrgyzstan. Next steps will also include a broad mediatisation of the results through an international conference to be held by the end of the year 2006.
