The exhibition brought together different photographs taken by different people at different times in different parts of the country. However, all of them are united by the beauty, uniqueness and importance of biodiversity, flora and fauna of the Western Tian Shan. Moreover, the exhibition shows the desire of humans to preserve the unique species of wildlife and the world in which humans live in harmony with nature.

The heroes of the photo exhibition are animals, plants, birds, as well as rangers and foresters of the Western Tian Shan, whose mission is to preserve and multiply the unique biodiversity.

The purpose of the exhibition is to promote understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues.
