Kyrgyzstan is strengthening efforts to restore forests and protect mountain ecosystems. On December 5, 2023, a tree-planting event was held in the Kara-Kemer Gorge, Issyk-Kul region, as part of the national "Zhashyl Muras" ("Green Heritage") campaign.

This initiative falls under the regional FRIENDS project, "Improving Forest Restoration Methods for Environmentally Sustainable Development in Central Asia." Implemented through the FAO-Turkey Forestry Partnership Programme, the project supports countries in enhancing their capacity for forest restoration and combating land degradation.
