Jeyran Ecocenter

In addition to these species, the Jeyran Ecocenter is home to a variety of other common and rare animals and plants, many of which are listed in the Red Book of Uzbekistan and the IUCN Red List. The fauna of the area includes 29 species of mammals, 260 species and subspecies of birds, 21 species of reptiles, 2 species of amphibians, 15 species of fish, and over 300 species of invertebrates. Among these, 2 species of mammals, 23 species of birds, 2 species of reptiles, 2 species of fish, and 6 species of insects are inscribed in the International and Republican Red Books.

The core activities of the Jeyran Ecocenter revolve around the breeding and preservation of rare species, the rational use of population resources, and conducting scientific research in the field of desert species biology. The center also promotes ecotourism, filming, and excursions, providing visitors with the opportunity to observe and learn about the unique wildlife of the region.

The ecocenter organizes excursions for children and young people, allowing them to watch rare animals and participate in the feeding of young animals under the supervision of the center’s personnel. Given the desert location of the breeding center, it is advisable to visit in the morning during the summer months when the temperatures are cooler.

The Jeyran Ecocenter near Bukhara is a vital institution dedicated to the conservation and study of rare and endangered species. Its efforts in breeding and protecting these animals have made significant contributions to the preservation of biodiversity in Uzbekistan. The center’s commitment to education and ecotourism also helps raise awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation and the unique ecosystems of the Kyzyl-Kum Desert.
