From the foreword:

"This Atlas brings to readers a sense of the beauty and wealth of Central Asia’s natural resources, some issues its peoples face in using and conserving them, and the progress being made toward sustainable development.

The Atlas is an output of the Central Asian Countries Initiative for Land Management (CACILM) Program, a 10-year partnership between the Central Asian countries and the international donor community that began in 2006. Its aim is to restore, maintain, and improve the productive functions of land in Central Asia, leading to better economic and social well-being, while preserving the ecological functions of the land. The initiative has set in motion an integrated approach to sustainable land management that will have local, national, and global benefits."
