The First Meeting of the Signatories to the MoU concerning Conservation and Restoration of the Bukhara Deer (Cervus elaphus bactrianus) was held on 20 November 2011. Parties from Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, as well as international experts, met to review the conservation status of the Bukhara deer and to agree on future priorities under the CMS Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the Conservation and Restoration of the Bukhara Deer.

Parties agreed to submit biannual reports to the Secretariat on progress in implementing the MoU and the Action Plan, decided to review and update the Action Plan and to add Afghanistan as an additional range state to the MOU. The participants concluded the meeting by signing a joint statement with key action points reiterating their commitment to the conservation of Bukhara deer across its range.
