The fifth report on implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity in Turkmenistan presents the findings on the current stage and the situation of the biodiversity in Turkmenistan. It underlines the importance of the biodiversity preservation and highlights the main areas for work.

Отчёт подготовлен при поддержке совместного проекта Министерства охраны природы, Программы развития ООН в Туркменистане и Глобального экологического Фонда, «Планирование национального биоразнообразия в поддержку выполнения Конвенции по Биоразнообразию. Стратегический план Туркменистана на 2011-2020 гг.».

This brochure has been produced on behalf of the consortium developing the hydrocarbon deposits beneath the North East Caspian defined under the North Caspian Sea Production Sharing Agreement of 1997.

The concession area lies in a region of rich biodiversity recognized as being of international importance for its wildlife, including several species that are classified as endangered. The widely varying conditions in the North East Caspian include extreme seasonal temperature variations, long-term sea level change, short-term sea surges and retreats, high levels of turbidity and sediment movement, ice cover in winter and scouring of the seabed by moving ice.

This dynamic environment presents challenges for those who live and work in the area. It also means that the fauna and flora on land and at sea, are adapted to a significant level of environmental stress from continually changing physical conditions.
