Kazakhstan ranks third worldwide by the area of land undergoing restoration. The UN’s first global report, “Nature’s Comeback,” says restoration measures in the country cover 8.13 million hectares, or about 3% of its total area.
The report was prepared by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity. Kazakhstan is behind China, with 127.4 million hectares, and Mongolia, with 12.18 million hectares.
The Ministry of Agriculture is stepping up efforts to conserve and use land resources sustainably. Its priorities include assessing soil conditions, identifying degraded sites and introducing digital monitoring tools.
