Creating conditions for reservation of true otter (Lutra lutra) enlisted in the Red Book of Kyrgyzstan in Sarybulak gorge in Chatkal valley by rehabilitation of the habitat, organizing community patrols and conducting information campaign.
The true otter is a vanishing type that has been enlisted in the Red Book of Kyrgyzstan. But in the Chatkal region they still exist and the hunters in this area are determined to catch it. Most of them lack the awareness that this type is vanishing and may even dissapear in the near decades. That is why the NGO "Kyzbulak" has set a goal to preserve this type of animal, which has a significance to the biodiversity of the area. First of all during the course of the project the NGO is planning to increase the awareness of local population about the general environmental impact that can be caused if the tru otter dissapears. Also to preserve the true otter the nursery is going to be set up in the area of 21 hectares. The project staff is going organize a partol to protect the true otter. The course of the project is going to be supported with information campaign. Also the biological corner to educate about the vanishing type of true otter is going to be organized.
