- In the current global conditions, putting human needs above all else has an impact on nature. In the eyes of many, pastures are considered one of the factors of little importance for the life of society. However, if we take into account that most of the regions of Central Asia consist of pastures, then we can see that the way of life of the inhabitants of these regions is directly related to pastures. Today, a number of problems arise due to the collapse of the use of pastures and their natural resources, the system of their management and control. The measures taken to reduce such cases are not effective enough. During the organizational processes of the conference, we got acquainted with the state of pastures in Uzbekistan. Our observations have shown that there is not a single pasture on the territory of Uzbekistan that is not affected by the human factor. This situation indicates the presence of problems in the system of pasture use. On the third day of the conference, field seminars are planned to be held directly on the pastures of Samarkand. During these seminars there will be an opportunity to find a unanimous solution to this issue and to exchange experiences at the international level.
