Bishkek, June 25, 2026. /Kabar/. Resident of Naryn region proposed an initiative to increase forest areas during a meeting with President Sadyr Zhaparov in Naryn.
According to him, there are 1.2 million groves of shrubs in the country. These areas, which have become pastures, need to be planted.
"Only forests can save the glaciers. Therefore, we need to increase forests," he said.
Responding to a resident's question, the head of state noted that he plans to check the state of pastures and forests.
"Starting in October, we will spray herbicides on areas covered with weeds. We will sow seeds on pastures. We will increase the area of these areas to 50,000 to 100,000 hectares," the president said.
10,000 hectares of land are sown with seeds every year. It was reported that 186 tons of seeds are currently ready.
