The vehicles were provided based on a Memorandum of Understanding between the Committee for Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tajikistan, with the aim of strengthening institutional capacity and operational effectiveness.
The initiative seeks to protect the environment and prevent damage to agricultural land and pastures during the seasonal movement of livestock between summer and winter pastures.
These measures are expected to contribute to improved pasture management, stronger inter-agency cooperation, and more sustainable use of natural resources.
