Climate Proofing for Sustainable Development in the Western Balkan

The project “Enhancing the conservation of flagship migratory mammal species of Central Asia through climate change-informed management and decision making” (short title “Central Asian Mammals and Climate Adaptation” (CABAMCA)), aims to increase the resilience of flagship mountain and other migratory species of Central Asia (e.g. snow leopard, Argali sheep, Asian ibex, Tien Shan maral, Bukhara deer), their associated ecosystems and communities to climate change and related threats. e.g. Snow Leopard, Argali Sheep, Asian Ibex, Tien Shan Maral, Bukhara Deer), their associated ecosystems and communities to climate change and related threats. It will benefit both wildlife and local communities at pilot sites in Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan by supporting climate change-informed, community-based wildlife management inside and outside protected areas, reducing human-wildlife conflicts and contributing to landscape permeability.
