The meeting was attended by researchers from the Kazakh Research Institute of Forestry and Agroforestry Reclamation, as well as specialists from the Committee of Forestry and Wildlife.
During the meeting, participants reviewed key areas of scientific research being carried out on the dried territory of the Aral Sea, along with the current activities of research personnel involved in these efforts.
Following the meeting, a number of поручения were issued to the Almaty branch of the профильного institute. In particular, it was instructed to ensure oversight of seedling cultivation and the establishment of phytomeliorative plantations on the dried seabed.
