The Ministry of Ecology told how they will sow saxaul on the former bottom of the Aral Sea, Tengrinews.kz reports.
In response to a request from Tengrinews.kz, after the publication of plans to sow the bottom of the Aral Sea with saxaul from the air, the Ministry of Ecology reported that sowing seeds on the former seabed was recognized as the most environmentally friendly and cost-effective method to stabilize the loose salt surface and shifting sands. The Ministry of Ecology noted that more than 100 thousand tons of salts and dust are carried annually from the bottom of the Aral Sea.
President Tokayev, in order to improve the environmental situation, set the task of carrying out phytoforestry (afforestation) work at the bottom of the Aral Sea until 2025 on a total area of 1.1 million hectares by creating saxaul plantations. From the moment of independence until 2021, 195,000 hectares of saxaul have already been planted on the dry seabed.

In order to adopt foreign experience in carrying out such work, a Kazakh delegation headed by the Vice Minister of Ecology went to Uzbekistan in June 2021. Earlier in this country, sowing work was already carried out at the bottom of the Aral Sea on an area of 1.6 million hectares, and most of this area was covered with aerial seeding.
During the trip, the head of the laboratory of the Research Institute of Forestry of Uzbekistan, Novitsky, acquainted the Kazakh side with the Uzbek experience in afforestation of the dried seabed. Members of the Kazakh delegation traveled to the Aral regions bordering Kazakhstan. The survival rate of saxaul in the surveyed areas on the territory of Uzbekistan amounted to 1,500 pieces per hectare.

From October to May, the Kazakh side carried out six expeditions to determine the scope and methods of carrying out the planned work on planting greenery on the bottom of the Aral Sea. LLP "Kazakh Research Institute of Forestry and Agroforestry named after A.N. Bukeikhana" on the basis of all studies and data of Kazakh and Uzbek scientists has developed Temporary recommendations for sowing seeds of black saxaul in the Kyzylorda region.
"According to the recommendations, it was planned to carry out aerial seeding on an area of 64,000 hectares. Due to the fact that seven units of new T-150 tractors were purchased last fall, it became possible to conduct large-scale mechanical seeding, and in order to save financial resources, aerial seeding was replaced by mechanized sowing ", - reported the Ministry of Ecology.
The Ministry noted that sowing seeds from the air is not something incredible. This method has its pros and cons. Among the advantages is the ability to sow seeds in large and hard-to-reach areas for the passage of equipment. The negative aspects include high seed consumption, low survival rate of seedlings and weaker crop growth compared to planting. Such work can be effective in the selection of areas, thorough preparation of the soil for air seeding (mechanized tillage), compliance with sowing dates, seed quality, weather conditions in the year of sowing. In Uzbekistan, the survival rate of seeds ranged from 20 to 65 percent.
As a result, in 2021, saxaul was sown on an area of 100,000 hectares. In 2022-2025, sowing is planned on an area of 250,000 hectares annually. The work was carried out by subordinate organizations of the Ministry of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources and state forestry institutions of the Akimat of the Kyzylorda region. 206.6 million tenge were allocated from the republican budget for the collection of seeds.
It is also planned to carry out the following works from 2021 to 2025:
1.development of innovative methods for improving the survival of saxaul on the bottom of the Aral Sea and the development of recommendations for mechanical seeding and air seeding of saxaul;
2.mapping of the lands of the subsided forest fund (drawing up maps of the modern relief with an assessment of soils, salt, movement of sands, underground and aboveground waters, vegetation);
3.conducting soil surveys and developing working projects for afforestation of the seabed;
4.creation of a forest nursery on a drained bottom (30 hectares) to provide planting material;
5.reforestation and afforestation at ODAM.

The state enterprise "Kazavialesoohrana" spoke about the unrealized project for sowing saxaul seeds on the dried bottom of the Aral Sea using aviation. According to employees, such a method could be a waste of budgetary funds, Tengrinews.kz reports.

The small forest patrol complex MLPC is an operational off-road vehicle based on a cargo-passenger vehicle with a double comfortable cabin. A forest patrol vehicle is indispensable in case of fires, it helps to quickly put out small fires and thus is able to prevent and eliminate large forest fires.
It is intended for patrolling forests and other natural landscapes, delivering people and fire equipment to work sites in order to carry out preventive firefighting measures and extinguish forest fires. It is used in rural settlements and at national economy facilities.
The basis for the MLPC is the UAZ-390945 (Farmer) car. This vehicle is very beneficial in the forest belt: having good cross-country ability, such a forest patrol complex is able to bring people with all the special equipment and material to the fire. MLPK UAZ is also widely used to patrol forest areas and rural areas.
In the forest, MLPKs are more mobile and efficient compared to fire trucks, the design of which is aimed at extinguishing object fires.
In addition, the MLPC does not require equipped fire piers for refueling with water. It should be noted that all the fire-technical equipment of the MLPC is removable, which increases its versatility.
High driving performance, spacious comfortable cabin, availability of water supply and solid wetting agent, fire equipment, ease of maintenance determine the high efficiency of its use.
UAZ chassis have a gasoline engine with direct fuel injection, small dimensions and a 4x4 wheel formula, are easily operated in forests and hard-to-reach places, having good maneuverability and increased cross-country ability.
The MLPC cab is two-row, made in the same space with the driver's cab, three-door, five-seater, all-metal.
There are five seats in the cabin of the UAZ forest patrol vehicle, all the necessary fire equipment is placed in the cargo compartment. The metal platform is covered with an awning on a removable frame. The side and rear walls of the awning can be freely folded and provide free access to the equipment located inside the body of the MLPC and comfortable operation of the equipment during a fire.
During a long patrol of forests, forest firefighters are provided with comfortable conditions in the cabin: soft upholstery, chairs with the ability to adjust the position, a table, cabin heating.
The small forest patrol complex based on the UAZ-390945 Farmer allows minor engine repairs without leaving the cab, in all weather conditions due to the location of the power unit inside the cab.
The MLPK is designed for operation and garageless storage at ambient temperatures from -40 ⁰С to +40 ⁰С.
The chassis is equipped with a frame reinforcement kit to improve vehicle performance under increased loads.
The set of forest fire equipment and inventory includes:
Water tank with a volume of 500 l - 1 pc;
High-pressure fire motor pump (Niagara type) complete with sleeves - 1 pc;
