WHAT IS "BIOM"

BIOM Ecological Movement

– a public non-profit organization founded in 1993, bringing together young professionals, scientists, and leaders on a voluntary basis who work to address environmental problems in the Kyrgyz Republic and Central Asia.

Our Mission

Achieving sustainable, positive changes in the quality of the environment and people’s lives by engaging broad segments of the population in implementing the ideas of Sustainable Development and preserving natural ecosystems.

BIOM’s Position

As citizens of the 21st century, aware of the reality of the ecological crisis, we are ready to take active steps toward achieving a harmonious interaction between humanity and nature. As young scientists, we are convinced that natural ecosystems are the foundation for the existence and development of civilization and all life on the planet. We recognize that achieving Sustainable Development is only possible through the implementation of an ecosystem-based approach. As citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic, we believe that addressing environmental issues cannot be effective without the broad involvement of various public groups.
