    This work is the result of the efforts of many international and regional soil experts unified by the FAO Global Soil Partnership (GSP). Scientists from Eurasian region met in Moscow Conference (November 20th, 2013) and, with the support of the FAO GSP Secretariat, analyzed the state of soil degradation and soil management in Eurasian region. On the first Plenary Meeting of the Eurasian Soil Partnership in Samarkand (10-11 September, 2014) they used the endorsed Plans of Actions (PoAs) of the FA O Five Pillars and formulated the Regional Implementation Plan of the Eurasian Soil Partnership (EASP) showing strong will to protect the soil resources in the region and globally. The report contains the Regional Implementation Plan (RIP) developed in close cooperation with the Eurasian Five Working Groups formed during the conference and the focal points of GSP from the Eurasian countries. It includes participatory regional implementation plan defining outcomes, activities, actors, period and potential donors, partners and implementation risks.
