A draft resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers, providing for the reorganization of environmental structures in the Issyk-Kul region, has been submitted for public discussion.
Reorganization goals and new functions
According to the explanatory note, the current agencies partially duplicate each other's tasks regarding environmental protection, ecological monitoring, and biodiversity conservation. The merger will create a single Issyk-Kul Biosphere Territory Directorate under the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ecology and Technical Supervision.
The new structure will undertake a range of tasks: from state environmental control and expertise to conducting scientific research and licensing activities.
It is important to note that the international status of the biosphere territory, its boundaries, zoning, and existing restrictions will remain the same.
