Kyrgyzstan to Launch Real-Time Monitoring for Tree Planting Program

Kyrgyzstan is enhancing its "Jashyl Muras" (Green Heritage) national tree-planting program with a new digital platform designed for real-time monitoring. Minister of Natural Resources, Ecology, and Technical Supervision, Akyl Toktobayev, announced that this initiative will allow anyone to select a region and observe the program's implementation on the ground.

This online monitoring system aims to increase transparency and public engagement. "'Jashyl Muras' holds special significance for us. Its name translates to 'Green Heritage,' representing an important mission not only for our ministry but for all government bodies and every citizen," Toktobayev stated. "We must preserve nature and pass it on to future generations."

The program has ambitious goals. Initially planned for over 6 million trees nationwide, the target for 2026 has been raised to 9 million saplings. Minister Toktobayev reported that the program is currently around 80% complete, with the remaining trees to be planted in the autumn to meet the year-end target.

Emphasis is placed on the survival rate of the planted trees, with a benchmark of approximately 80% success. Local authorities and ministry specialists are overseeing watering and care. "We carefully track results in each region. Our mandatory requirement is that the sites are fenced, equipped with drip irrigation, and that proper planting technology is followed," the minister explained. The program also strategically selects tree species, including fruit-bearing varieties, suited to different regional climates, contributing to food security and utilizing saplings grown in domestic nurseries.
