The project on Sustainable Land Management in the High Pamir and Pamir-Alai Mountains is an integrated trans-boundary initiative of the governments of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan which aims to address the interlinked problems of land degradation and poverty within one of Central Asia's critical mountain 'water towers' and biodiversity hotspots.
The project is executed by the State Agencies for Environment Conservation and Forestry in the two countries with financial support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and other donors. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the GEF Implementing Agency for the project, and the United Nations University (UNU) is the International Executing Agency.
