Kyrgyz republic reforms in management of pasture resources
The land reform process in the Kyrgyz Republic started in the mid 90s with the major focus on privatization of arable land.However, a vast area of pasture land‐which is about 90 percent of the total area of the country‐was left in state ownership and has been used on a lease basis.However, the current system of management of pasture resources is ineffective and detrimental to the sustainable use of these resources because pastures are divided between three administrative tiers‐provincial, district and village with the village government managing near settlement pastures, the district administration managing intensive pastures, and the provincial government managing remote pastures.This division of management responsibility over three levels of pastures inhibits sustainable use of pastures with livestock often concentrated at one level or another instead of moving seasonally to ensure pasture rotation and its regeneration.Sustainable pasture management depends on maintaining the ecosystem of the pastures, which is impossible if they are not managed as a whole.
