One Health in Nature Conservation in Central Asia project aims to mitigate the risk of zoonosis - diseases naturally transmissible from animals to humans - by expanding the extent and strengthening conservation measures in natural and overlapping sociocultural areas. It seeks to address the relevant causes of epidemic risk and consolidate a fair and effective regional network of protected and conserved areas (PCAs). The project is funded by the German Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety, and Consumer Protection (BMUV) through the International Climate Initiative (IKI) and executed by 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 in collaboration with a consortium of national and international organizations across five Central Asian countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, over 5 years (2024-2029).
