Uzbekistan to create 1 mln hectares of green cover in dried Aral Sea bed

TASHKENT, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) — Uzbekistan plans to create one million hectares of green cover to stabilize toxic sand in the dried Aral Sea basin that has been polluting the Central Asian region, the country’s State Committee of Forestry said Friday.

Uzbekistan has already created 1.6 million hectares of green cover in the dried seabed, mainly by planting saksovul (Haloxylon) desert trees since 2018, it said.
