BIOFIN Kazakhstan’s work on the creation of legislative frameworks for the implementation of six new innovative finance solutions, with the aim of protecting and restoring the country’s nature, is already gaining support at the highest levels in the country.
BIOFIN contributed to the development of the new Environmental Code by proposing norms that aim at the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity based on the principle of equitable distribution and access to natural benefits. These norms include biodiversity offsets, voluntary payments for ecosystem services, principles for the development of ecotourism in protected areas, carbon offsets and “green investments”. One of the solutions being implemented in Kazakhstan is subsidising game breeding to save animal species and develop hunting concessions. The aim of the finance solution is to conservation of the natural population of wildlife, through introduced government subsidies for game breeding. The end of result of the finance solution is to preserve wildlife resources and develop the market for sustainable hunting by releasing some animals in the wild while using some animals for hunting, sale and placing on the market (horns, meat, skin, etc.).
