Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev Announces Progress in Biodiversity Conservation, Including Growth in Rare Species and Planting of Over 1.5 Billion Trees
Kazakhstan revives ecosystems with record reforestation and wildlife recovery
President Tokayev shared Kazakhstan's experience in preserving biodiversity.
Biodiversity conservation remains a cornerstone of our environmental policy. Sustained efforts have yielded tangible results: the saiga antelope population has been successfully restored. The number of snow leopards in Kazakhstan has more than doubled, reaching approximately 190 individuals. In collaboration with international partners, we are also engaged in the reintroduction and recovery of other endangered species, including falcons, the Caspian tiger, and Przewalski's horse. Large-scale reforestation is a key priority on Kazakhstan's environmental agenda.
Over the past five years, we have planted more than 1.5 billion trees across over one million hectares, including saxaul plantations on the dried bed of the Aral Sea in partnership with Uzbek specialists to combat desertification. Kazakhstan calls on all partners to join the International Fund for the Conservation of Rare Species and Biodiversity—a platform for cross-border cooperation in scientific research and effective ecosystem protection.
