Kazakhstan aims to rejuvenate the Aral Sea by planting 1.1 million trees by 2025

The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources plans to plant 1.1 million planting materials on a drained part of the Aral Sea by the end of 2025, reported Kazinform news agency.

“The salt dust storms which appear due to the drying of the Aral Sea harm the region’s agriculture. Therefore, it is important to cover the drained bottom with vegetation. This will reduce the spread of salt-laden sand to the nearest regions,” said Nysanbayev.(Source:astanatimes)

In December 2023, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev urged the international community to increase financial support for the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea during the World Climate Summit.
