In this episode of Focus, we explore Uzbekistan's ambitious green initiatives, from protecting rare wildlife in the Surkhon Reserve to planting billions of trees, all aimed at combating climate change and restoring biodiversity.
Uzbekistan is taking ambitious steps to revive its biodiversity.
At the Surkhon State Reserve, rangers protect rare species such as the endangered markhor, while scientists monitor expanding ecosystems.
Nationwide, initiatives such as the 'Yashil Makon' programme aim to plant 2 billion trees by 2030, revitalising arid lands and improving biodiversity.
These actions signal Uzbekistan's commitment to sustainability, addressing the environmental aftermath of the Aral Sea disaster and forging a path towards ecological resilience.
