Community Conservation Resilience Initiative (CCRI) in Tajikistan

March 21 is the international day of forests. This year’s theme is “Forests and Sustainable Cities”. While we celebrate the importance of forests and their relations to cities, let's also remember the threats that our forests face because of growing demands for energy, meat, wood, & other products.. Let's also remember the people that live in and around forests, especially Indigenous Peoples who have taken care of forests and whose lives and rights are also linked to those of forests. Local communities in Tajikistan are usually highly motivated to keep wild nature in a good state. Traditional knowledge and practices are tailored to local ecosystems, and include respect for wild animals and bans on hunting or collecting medicinal plants in cases of their depletion. The six participating communities in Tajikistan—Jonbakht, Sarikhosor, Dektur, Mulokoni, Dashtijum and Obigarm—are all located in a region with unique mountain and forest ecosystems, which are mainly rich in wild fruits (such as apples and plums) and nuts, and where the local communities are preserving their traditional livelihood techniques.
