Three million saplings of young deciduous, coniferous and fruit trees and vines are planted throughout the country each year.
According to the recommendations of scientists and experts, conifers planted along the highways and in the areas adjacent to cities, clean up the environment from harmful gases and dust impurities improving people’s health. In deserts, trees reliably protect settlements from hot and dusty winds, mud flows, creating a favorable microclimate and transforming the natural landscapes of the country.
Thus, we are creating a new reality - the country of one of the greatest deserts in the world and the hot sun turns into a region of green oases, beautiful parks and thick forests standing as the living symbols of growth and renewal.
