Kyrgyzstan is strengthening its forest restoration efforts, vital for its environmental sustainability. On December 5, 2025, a tree-planting event was held in the Kara-Kemer Valley of the Issyk-Kul Region as part of the national "Jashyl Muras" ("Green Heritage") campaign.

This activity is part of the regional "FRIENDS – Improving Forest Restoration for Environmental Development and Sustainability in Central Asia" project. Implemented under the FAO-Türkiye Forestry Partnership Program, the project supports Central Asian countries in enhancing forest restoration capacity and combating land degradation.
