At the meeting point of the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, the Caspian region includes steppe land in the north, cold, continental deserts and semi-deserts in the northeast and east, and warmer mountain and highland systems in the south and southwest. The coastal wetlands of the Caspian basin include many shallow, saline pools, which attract a variety of bird life and biodiversity; over 400 species are unique to the Caspian. In addition, the sea's native sturgeon is famous the world around for the roe it produces: sturgeon from the Caspian Sea accounts for approximately 90% of the world's caviar industry.

Каспийское побережье и прилегающая низменность Туркменистана являются местом массового пролёта и зимовки водно-болотных птиц, ареалы популяций которых располагаются также в России и Казахстане. Поэтому в предлагаемый список птиц включены редкие виды не только Туркменистана, но и находящиеся в Красных книгах данных стран. При организации охраны редких видов необходимо учитывать состояние их популяций и на прилежащих территориях соседних стран. В работу вошли материалы, собранные нами за период с 70-х годов прошлого столетия до настоящего времени и преимущественно на территории Хазарского (Красноводского) заповедника и прилежащих территориях.

The arrangements in the Aktau Protocol Implementation Plan are intended to facilitate the development of joint response operations and to co-ordinate the use of the available resources in the region. They also outline in advance the financial conditions and administrative clauses of the actions, thus permitting rapid intervention in case of emergency by removing the need for lengthy negotiations during the course of the event.

The present report on the State of the Environment of the Caspian Sea was developed in accordance with the requirements of the Framework Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Caspian Sea (Tehran Convention, 2003) and is one of the regional environmental cooperation mechanisms to assess the state of the marine environment of the Caspian Sea, in particular, pollution and its impact, based on the reports provided by the Contracting Parties and any competent international organization.
