Practical exchange visit to Iskandarkul, Tajikstan

Green Patrols
Participants from 11 cities and districts of the Sughd region and 2 cities of Uzbekistan strengthened the friendship between the Green Patrols of the two countries and were charged with the power of nature. The program included a hike to a local waterfall and Snake Lake, master classes on the correct construction of tents and behavior during a hike from an experienced guide, and the creation of models of a river basin, which united the guys, because they live in the Syr Darya river basin area, and of course the guys showed their knowledge on the environment and ecology in the intellectual game.

This regional project was held within the framework of the upcoming second Youth Forum of the Syr Darya River, which will be held in early autumn and will bring together even more members of the Green Patrols.

Chief Specialist of the Main Department of Environmental Protection of the Sughd Region - Saidov Khurshed, Director of the Center for Additional Education of the Sughd Region - Sokhibnazarov Zikriddin, representative of the NGO "Istikbolli Avlod" (Uzbekistan) Shamsiddinov Orifjon, Director of the NGO "Tarrakiet" (Uzbekistan) Madaliyeva Feruza, as well as representatives of ACTED (Tajikistan) Mirbozkhonova Nargiz and Abdurazykova Shoira made our event even more memorable with their presence, wise advice and related recommendations to our Green Patrols.

The event was organized within the framework of the National Water Resources Management Project, implemented by the Helvetas ACTED Consortium with financial support from SDC
