Bukhara eco-centre “Jayron”- a rareeco-touristic domicile

 

A lot of measures  are widely being carried out in order to develop tourism especially market of tourism and to turn it into profitable  branch of economy.The President of Uzbekistan Islom Karimov at the interview given newspaper “Today” said:Beautiful geographical and natural conditions  in our republic are very convenient to develop ecologic tourism(Khalk suzi” newspaper by 26.01.2007).Indeed, there are alot of fascinating and enchanting deserts,hills,mountain landscapes,natural resources,rare domiciles which were built by men in Uzbekistan.

One of the rarest domiciles is eco-centre of Bukhara “Jayron”.It is the only care centre in Central Asia and it was established in 1976 by the leaders of Bukhara region in order to increase the number of antilopes that were widely spread once,its area is 5145 hectare.

The headquarter of carecentre is situated in the south of Bukhara region,at the distance of 45 km,at the right side of the road of Bukhara –Korovulbazar.It is surrounded by 2 metres wire barrier.This care centre is bordered with the plato of Momojurgoti from the north,the road of Bukhara-Korovulbazar from the east Amu-Bukhara channel from the south,Bukhara-Karshi railway from the west.Its relief is flat the southern side of the lowest point is 214-216 metres below the sea level.This relief rises to the north,the plato of Momojurgoti about 300 metres height.There are  alot of natural-antropogenic landscapes peculiar to the southern deserts of Central Asia these are aqua hillside and  irrigated  area  landscapes  which  appeared on condition that  sandy, gypsum, salt  sail  and  human activities. Fauna &Flora spread  conveniently  to  these  landscapes.

There  are a  lot  of  apple-tree,  apricot-tree,  quince-tree  and  clover-fields in the  irrigated  areas.  Especially, haloxylonforests  which  cover  irrigated areas are very  fascinating.

42  pairslantilopes  have  been  brought  to  this centre in 1977 and  begun  to  multiply  them. 4pairs  of  Prjevalskiy  horses  from  Russia  and  4 pairs of  antilopes from Badhiz  centre  of Turkmanistan  were brought in 1980. Because of  efficiently attempt  of  the  staff  of  eco-centre  in the  year  1996  the number  of  antilopes  made  up to 621, the  number  of  Prjevalskiy  horses  raised  up to 11, antilopes  made up  16.

In  the  year  2006, the  care centre  was enrichedwith  sheep of  Bukhara  and  twisted  horned camels(brought  from Termiz zoo-park) and special conditions were created for them.Due toeco-centre  staff’s  attempts  in 2010, on October the number  of  animals  that arelisted  in  ‘Red Book’ is reached to: antilopes-749,Prjevalskiy horses-21,Bukhara  sheeps-16, twisted horned camels-2 pairs.

In  order  to  develop  this rare  centre  under  the  Committee of  Protection of nature  of Uzbekistan  was given an extra  area (11369 hectare)  in 2011.This  second  part  of  eco-centre  is  situated  next  to  the first  part,it is  stretched out along  the  left  side of  Amu-Bukhara channel  to the  To’dako’l  reservoir. This  measure  enables  to  increase  the  number  of  rare animals  and  develop  ecotourism  in  Uzbekistan.

Ecotourism is defined as:

·       Ecotourism is travel to fragile, pristine, and usually protected areas that strives to be low impact and (often) small scale. It helps educate the traveler; provides funds for conservation; directly benefits the economic development and political empowerment of local communities; and fosters respect for different cultures and human rights. (http://geography.about.com/od/locateplacesworldwide/a/ecotourism_2.htm)

·       responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the welfare of local people (http://untamedpath.com/eco-tours/defining-ecotourism.shtml)

·       Environmentally responsible travel to natural areas, in order to enjoy and appreciate nature (and accompanying cultural features, both past and present) that promote conservation, have a low visitor impact and provide for beneficially active socio-economic involvement of local peoples (http://www.nature.org/greenliving/what-is-cotourism.xml#sthash.JvnbfbCy.dpuf).
