Kyrgyzstan is a mountainous country with high mountain basins and mountain lakes. There is sheep breeding and irrigation farming on the small areas of cultivation.

History: Conquered by Russia in 1876, Kyrgyzstan was part of the Autonomous Soviet Republic of Turkestan from 1918. Established in 1926, the Kyrgyz Autonomous Soviet Republic was converted into a Union Republic of the USSR in 1936. In 1991 Kyrgyzstan declared its independence and became a member of the CIS.

Climate
The climate is distinctly continental and dry with clearly recognizable elevations. The highest amounts of precipitation are received by the mountainous areas in the damming area of the north-west and south-west winds (800–1,000 mm / year). The lowest rainfall is in the central basins and valleys of the Tian Shan (180-300 mm / year) and in the western part of the Issykkul basin (100 mm / year). The mean July temperature in the low areas is 20 to 27 ° C (the January mean is −1.5 to −8 ° C), in the medium high areas 15 to 17 ° C (−8 to −20 ° C) and in the high mountain areas at 10 to 12 ° C (−20 to −27 ° C). In the south of Kyrgyzstan, the summers are hotter and the winters are milder than in the north, so that a closed snow cover does not always form.
Vegetation
Up to 1,500 m above sea level, deserts, semi-deserts, grass and bush steppes predominate, which take up around half of the area of Kyrgyzstan. Agricultural use is usually only possible through irrigation. Between 1,500 and 4,000 m above sea level there are dry mountain steppes, which with increasing altitude change into meadow steppes and subalpine to alpine meadows and meadows with groves of Tian Shan spruce and various types of juniper (pasture use). Forest area only covers 3.4% of the country: Between the 1930s and the late 1980s, deforestation halved the forest area. At the edge of the Fergana Basin, in the north of the Jalal-Abad area, there are still endemic walnut forests. Deforestation and overgrazing of the high mountain areas lead to erosion damage on the steep slopes and, after earthquakes, often to landslides and mudslides. The firn and glacier region begins above 4,000 m above sea level (on the southern slopes of the Alai Mountains above 4 800 m above sea level).
Conservation: A large region around the Issykkul was designated as a UNESCO-recognized biosphere reserve in 2001. Furthermore, there are two national parks, several nature parks and nature reserves as well as numerous nature reserves in Kyrgyzstan. The natural wild fruit forests (walnuts, pistachios, cherries, plums, apples, pears) of the western Tian Shan enjoy special protection.
