I am interested in collaborating for biodiversity conservation, research projects, and recreation activities. Lately, I have been an active eBirder with a strong hobby in nature photography and landscape ecology, especially painting.  In 2026, I became a member of Ornithologia – Kyrgyz Association for Conservation of Biodiversity. This affiliation opens opportunities for future collaboration in research, conservation, and recreational activities. While commercialization remains a potential avenue, recreational birding activities, as part of nature-based tourism, are increasingly gaining popularity in Central Asia. 

In 2016, I met my dear friend, Mr. Rolf, an ornithologist from Berlin, Germany. I guided him in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, showing him over 100 species of birds across the Pamir and Tien Shan Mountains. Later, we collaborated on a scientific research project in Zor-Kul, Kara-Kul, and Rang-Kul in the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan. This experience introduced me, for the first time, to the world of birds, citizen science, and environmental education. For more, see some of our Safari Tours here.
