THE MINISTRY OF ECOLOGY TOLD HOW THEY ARE GOING TO SOW THE DRAINED BOTTOM OF THE ARAL
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.

"MONEY FOR THE WIND" - HOW THE BOTTOM OF THE ARAL IS PLANNED TO SOW SAXAUL FROM THE AIR
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.
On behalf of the President, it was planned to implement a project to plant saxaul at the bottom of the former Aral Sea. The project is part of the presidential program for greening the country, under which more than 2 billion green spaces are to be planted in the natural areas of the country.
Vladimir Sanarov, inspector of the flight production service of the State Enterprise "Kazavialesoohrana", said that initially they wanted to plant seeds at the bottom of the Aral Sea using the old Soviet method of aerial seeding - scattering saxaul seeds from an airplane. The Ministry of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources secured significant funds for this work, which were directed to the Committee for Forestry and Wildlife. Kazavialesoohrana was chosen as the project executor, but the employees of this organization are very skeptical about the prospects for such sowing without preparation, since such work has never been carried out in Kazakhstan before.
"We didn’t see a single document. We were simply summoned to the committee and said that we were ready to allocate money this year (note: we are talking about the end of 2021), and instructed to prepare an agreement on the performance of these works as soon as possible. After reviewing the proposal , we realized that nothing like this was done in our country. In the 30-40s, aerial seeding was carried out, but since then no documents have remained. We began to look for at least some method of aerial seeding in modern practice and stumbled only on the experience of Uzbekistan There, a similar project was implemented for four years, and the methodology had been developed for several years by a candidate of sciences with the rank of colonel of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.We tried to contact this specialist, but he only referred to documents that are in the public domain.
Our company is engaged in the detection and extinguishing of natural fires, as well as monitoring for the protection of forests from poaching. We have no experience and specialists in the field of aviation seed sowing at all. We scrupulously studied the available methodological recommendations and realized that first it was necessary to conduct experimental research, answer a number of questions and, based on these studies, develop our own methodology. Only after the technology is developed, it will be possible to draw up a feasibility study for the project," said Vladimir Sanarov.
The representative of "Kazavialesoohrana" noted that as a result, a situation has developed when they are allocated funds directed from nowhere to perform work that cannot be implemented in such a time frame and with such preparation. As a result, the state-owned enterprise would be responsible for spending the funds.
According to Sanarov, at the end of last year they were allocated about 370 million tenge for sowing an area of 64,000 hectares. The total scope of work is more than 2 million hectares. The company tried to conclude a contract, but according to the rules of public procurement, the period for the procedures for preparing for the conclusion of the contract is at least 45 days. At the same time, sowing can be done only in winter from December to February. As a result, Kazavialesoohrana did not have time to complete the work in December last year, the funds were returned to the budget, but also January and February of this year were lost due to the procedure for coordinating and allocating funds for aerial seeding.
Sanarov added that there are also questions about the seed database, which was prepared for sowing from the air. Last year, it was necessary to prepare 322 tons of seeds, but in the end they collected about 150 tons. Given the fact that the sowing was never done, these seeds may simply disappear.
"It is necessary either to change the law on public procurement in order to have time to conclude contracts before winter, or to make some additions to the list of regulations. We sent wishes to the Ministry of Ecology on this matter, but they forwarded them to the Forestry and Wildlife Committee, which is interested only to spend the allocated funds, and then ask us for the work. Without a legislative framework, we are not authorized to carry out these works. If we do, there will be questions from law enforcement and supervisory authorities," the employee of the state enterprise added.
Vladimir Sanarov, as a specialist, notes that, in addition to the lack of methodology and legal framework, there are purely technical difficulties for sowing seeds from the air in the conditions of the Aral desert. The soil in this area is salt marshes, and natural takeoff and landing sites cannot be placed on them due to the large amount of dust. In Uzbekistan, when performing similar work on the area, take-off platforms were built at a distance of 15-20 kilometers from each other. The construction of such an infrastructure at the bottom of the Aral will require additional time and funding.
The specialist also added that before starting aerial seeding, it is necessary to assess the potential effectiveness of such work. This can only be done after experience and research. In Uzbekistan, it was noted that sowing in this way is expensive, but its speed increases by 82 times compared to if it was done from the ground. At the same time, there is no exact data on the survival rate of plants planted in this way. If the survival rate is from 0 to 9 percent, then there will be no sense from such work.
"First you need to understand whether the game is worth the candle or the money will simply be thrown away. Why does our leadership, represented by the committee, not want to think about it? This will end badly if we don't change the law, we don't create a regulatory framework, we don't do research and development, we don't find out the effectiveness, in the end. ", summed up Vladimir Sanarov.
The Committee for Forestry and Wildlife of the Ministry of Ecology reported that due to the need to carry out mass sowing of saxaul seeds in a short time, they really initially planned to sow them from the air. Specialists from Uzbekistan were invited for consultations. However, when the committee realized that these works could not be prepared in such a short time, they were abandoned and the seeds were sown mechanized with the help of tractors.
"Last year, we carried out mechanized sowing. In the autumn we will plant seedlings, and then plant them again with mechanized sowing. So far, this is the best option for us, and given the warm winter and snowfall, optimal conditions have developed for this," said the Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Forestry and Animals peace Erlan Kutpanbaev.
According to the deputy chairman of the committee, it is planned to sow 1 million 100 hectares with saxaul. Last year and the beginning of this year, 100,000 seeds and seedlings were already sown, and it is planned to plant 250,000 seeds and seedlings annually. Aviation for these works will not yet be involved. In general, the project is being implemented with the aim of keeping salts and sands at the bottom of the dried-up sea so that they do not cover neighboring territories.
