   It is known that the drying up of the Aral Sea has become one of the global environmental issues that threaten not only the Central Asian region, but the entire planet. Due to this reason, the head of our state puts forward concrete proposals to reduce the negative consequences of this threat in order to draw the attention of the world community to this problem. In addition, practical work is underway to plant shrubs and trees in the arid marine zone. Particularly, in recent years, projects have been implemented in the Aral Sea region, on the drained seabed, on planting saxaul bushes and other salt-tolerant plants, to improve the living conditions of the population, living in the region.
