According to the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030), Kyrgyzstan is recognized as one of the key areas where natural restoration of ecosystems is still possible. Due to its high mountainous terrain, diverse climatic zones, and relatively low population density, the country's ecosystems retain the potential for self-restoration. This is critical for the protection of native species, agricultural sustainability, and population adaptation to the effects of climate change.

Kyrgyzstan is home to the snow leopard (Panthera uncia), argali (Ovis ammon), the Red Book tulip relict Greigii, the Tien Shan mountain meadows and forest belt, as well as endemic species of butterflies, birds, and medicinal plants. Restoring forests, pastures, and rivers can strengthen biosphere functions such as water conservation, clean air, and crop pollination.
