Today, at the International Forum on Snow Leopard Conservation, the project of the Bishkek Declaration was approved at an expert level.

As Deputy Director of the State Agency for Environmental Protection and Forestry Nurlan Zhumayev told 24.kg news agency, on August 2 and 3, 2017 the draft of the Bishkek Declaration was discussed and agreed upon.
