Kazakhstan's Green Project Estimated to Require 82 Billion Tenge
Chillin' Out with Kazakhstan's Green Vision
Dropping some earth-shattering news here! Now that we're blossoming into spring, Kazakhstan has started planting a whopping 81.5 million trees. This ambitious green initiative is set to get even greener, with plans to plant a staggering 643 million trees by 2025!
According to the Vice Minister of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources, Alya Shalabekova, a budget of 82 billion tenge has been allocated to make this dream a reality. The funding will be sourced from both national and local budgets, with 22 billion tenge coming from the republican budget and 60 billion tenge from local pockets. This greenwave calls for buying tractors, forest planting machines, and cumulators with the funds, as Shalabekova revealed.
Now, you're probably wondering, what about the spaces where these lil' greenthings will grow? Well, the area for nurseries growing planting material has seen an expansion—get ready for some major leafy love this year! Already, this spring has witnessed the planting of 81.5 million trees on 21,600 hectares of land. Autumn will see an additional 48.2 million trees join the ranks. Year by year, the number of trees getting planted is set to increase, with plans to plant approximately 244 million trees in 2022, accounting for 411 million in 2023, and 573 million in 2024, finally reaching the magical 643 million mark in 2025!
Now, let's dig a lil' deeper. Did you know that Kazakhstan's green mission doesn't stop here? Initiatives like TURAQTY JOL 6.0 Eco-Campaign work to raise public environmental awareness, get youngsters involved in sustainable projects, and foster a broader environmental consciousness. And that's not all, there's the Taza Kazakhstan Campaign, which aims to plant millions of trees, engage volunteers, and promote environmental efforts at a national level. The UNDP has also partnered with the Kazakh government, working on projects like the creation of a genetic bank for tree seeds and pilot projects on forest carbon offsets.
Lastly, Kazakhstan's link-up with South Korea for a forest restoration initiative might assist in providing technology, growing public awareness, and reforesting areas affected by wildfires. It's clear that Kazakhstan isn't just going green, it's going green on steroids!

Science plays a crucial role in Kazakhstan's green mission, as environmental science is used to optimize tree nurseries for planting material and orchestrate reforestation efforts. In light of this, health-and-wellness and fitness-and-exercise could benefit from the improved air quality and increased greenery, fostering a healthier population. Furthermore, addressing climate-change through such initiatives not only contributes positively to the environment but sets a notable example in the global fight against its detrimental effects.
