Our work in Eurasia

Our Eurasia programme is a distinguishing feature for us, setting us apart from other international conservation NGOs that focus exclusively on the tropics.

Although many Eurasian traditions are founded on the principles of co-existence with nature and respect for the land, poverty is forcing people in many areas to use natural resources at a rate that is driving some species to extinction.

Our ability to navigate the dynamic political, social and economic consequences of the breakup of the Soviet Union has allowed us to focus on regional conservation issues that derive from the uncertainties of emerging democracy.

In the Eurasia region we are working in Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Portugal, Turkey and Croatia.
