A committee within the Kyrgyz Parliament has approved draft legislation aimed at fostering the development of geoparks across the country. The decision was made during a session of the committee on agrarian policy, water resources, subsoil use, ecology and environmental protection. The approved bills propose amendments to existing laws concerning specially protected natural areas and the establishment of geological parks within Kyrgyzstan. These changes are intended to provide a legal framework for the creation and management of geoparks, promoting both conservation and sustainable tourism. The legislation seeks to capitalize on Kyrgyzstan’s unique geological features and biodiversity. Further parliamentary consideration and voting on the bills are expected to follow this committee approval. The move signals a growing interest in utilizing geoparks as tools for regional development and environmental preservation.
