During this trip we will be able to observe birds living in different climatic and altitude areas. We will be able to see and understand how different species of birds have adapted to the same conditions, or vice versa, how the same species of birds live in completely different climatic conditions.<\/p>\r\n

The south of Kyrgyzstan is place of natural contrasts, Asian vibes and a multicultural region. Many species of birds live and nest here. Here, on a compact territory, one can see absolutely opposite natural landscapes, from glacial valleys to semi-desert badlands. For each landscape, its own fauna and the way of life of local residents are inherent, as well as birds have adapted their lives to different natural conditions. The large valleys are mostly populated by the long-settled farmers who cultivate the land. In the highlands, live the nomads. But people\u2019s life in the valleys, like the shape of landscapes, directly depends on water. Therefore, here you can see a combination of hot and dry semi-deserts with green fertile oases. In the mountainous valleys are located green floodplains of the rivers, which are combined with agricultural areas.<\/p>\r\n
