Protecting Kyzylorda: Building a Living Barrier Against Dust, Wind, and Erosion
description
Outside Kyzylorda, millions of saxaul seedlings are taking root to form a protective belt around the city. This living barrier reduces dust storms, safeguards infrastructure, and benefits local farmers by reducing erosion and improving water retention. Through investments in tree and shrub planting, communities across southern Kazakhstan are boosting their resilience while creating new economic opportunities.
