The most important component of the strategy for sustainable human development, adopted at the national forum on May 28, 1997, is the conservation of natural potential and biological diversity.

The publication provides an assessment of the main ecosystems of the Western Tian Shan, which ensure the region's environmental stability and provide people with various benefits; the irreplaceability of natural ecosystems in sustaining human life is emphasized.

This work stems from the author's wish to help biology teachers become familiar with the vegetation of Kyrgyzstan. The work is based on material collected by the author over 10 years (1945–1955) during repeated expeditions to study the vegetation of Kyrgyzstan. Some materials were also used

Only monitoring can demonstrate the need to preserve insect species diversity in the reserve, as well as in other, unprotected areas. Legislation has predetermined the absence of anthropogenic influence within the reserve's territory.
