Forests are vital for Kyrgyzstan's environmental sustainability. A tree-planting event, part of the national "Jashyl Muras" ("Green Heritage") campaign, took place on December 5, 2025, in the Kara-Kemer Valley of the Issyk-Kul Region.

This initiative is a component of the "FRIENDS – Improving Forest Restoration for Environmental Development and Sustainability in Central Asia" regional project. Implemented under the FAO-Türkiye Forestry Partnership Program, the project supports regional countries in strengthening forest restoration capacity and combating land degradation.
