PROJECTS
Our speleological projects – are studies of unexplored or barely explored karst areas, studies of new caves and caves spoken by locals. In the study of caves, we use a comprehensive methodology taking into account the interests of archaeologists, biologists, geologists, hydrogeologists and other areas of speleology. All projects are carried out with the permission of local authorities, and we are trying to give people who are not indifferent to the fate of the caves the results of the research.
The caves of Central Asia can be carriers of different kind of information related to the long history of this region, many of which are places of biodiversity, especially different species of animals from the international red list. The caves contain archaeological artifacts and ancient petroglyphs. In our region, many caves have been and still are places of worship. Our mission is to teach officials and local residents to learn to save caves and use them for research and education. To this end, we invite all interested speleologists and colleagues, to take part in our expeditions to various karst regions of Central Asia.
