Decreasing of destruction rate of juniper forests ecosystem which are inhabitants of endemic and included into Red Book species such as maral (Cervus elaphus sibiricus Sev.), lynx (Felis lynx isabellina Blyth) in vicinity of Barskoon village located on the northern slope of Teskey Alatoo range through creation buffer plantations of fast growing trees.
Barskoon village is one of the largest settlements (7000 people) on the south coast of Issyk-Kul Lake located nearest from natural juniper forests and flood-plain brush-wood vegetations. The main sources of income for population are cattle-breeding and plant cultivation.

Even elm and poplar wind-proof belt were cut down for household needs.
The main idea of the project is reduction of anthropogenic press on natural juniper forest and flood-plain brush-wood vegetations through fast growing trees planting (poplar, willow) which will a buffer zone between village and natural forest
In the course of project implementation it is intended obtaining of following results:
Ecological
-protection of species of plants habitats included into Red Data Book of Kyrgyzstan, part of which are endemics;
Economic
? To provide population by firewood and building materials
? Using of flood-plain brush-wood vegetations for current gathering instead of cutting down of these plants
Actions to be undertaken by Public Association «Karek»
1. Conducting seminar and trainings for the local population who will take care fore saplings
2. Fencing and creation of irrigation network in two plots
