Kazakhstan and China Collaborate to Restore Aral Sea with Artificial Forest
Chinese scientists offer support to Kazakhstan in establishing artificial forest plantations on the dried bottom of the Aral Sea, as reported during a meeting between Kazakh Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Yerlan Nysanbayev and scientists from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on July 23.
The main objective of this project is to mitigate the negative environmental impacts in the region, as stated by the ministry’s press service. To further examine the work, Chinese scientists visited the Kyzylorda Region.
Minister Nysanbayev emphasized the importance of cooperation and knowledge exchange with Chinese scientists to enhance expertise on forest regeneration. He highlighted China’s vast experience and success in creating artificial forest plantations, setting a world record in this field.
In a bid to address environmental challenges on the dried Aral Sea bed, the establishment of a joint Kazakh-Chinese center was suggested. This collaborative effort aims to find sustainable solutions for the restoration and conservation of the region’s ecosystem.
The partnership between Kazakhstan and China in reforesting the dried bottom of the Aral Sea demonstrates a shared commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development. Through joint efforts and expertise exchange, the two countries can work towards rejuvenating the ecosystem and promoting ecological balance in the region.
