On October 14, a meeting was held between TechnoGroupService LLC and the Executive Board of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea (IFAS) in the Republic of Kazakhstan, where they discussed current projects to preserve the Aral Sea and prevent disasters in the region. According to experts, the surface area of the Aral Sea has decreased by 20 times since 1977 to the present.
TechnoGroupService LLC is participating in attracting grant funds from the MacArthur Foundation with the project "GREENAID: Combating Desertification of the Aral Sea". The project is aimed at innovative methods of combating desertification and creating forest plantations on the bottom of the Aral Sea through the use of solar modules. As part of the implementation of this Project, TechnoGroupService LLP also sent letters of interest to the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Akimat of the Kyzylorda Region and a number of other organizations.
The IFAS Executive Directorate in Kazakhstan actively cooperates with international partners, including financial institutions and UN organizations, to solve the problems of the region. For example, in April 2024, a delegation of the European Union and the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States to the Republic of Kazakhstan D. Rosenblum visited the Aral Sea (https://inbusiness.kz/ru/last/posol-ssha-v-rk-uvidel-kak-vosstanavlivayut-ekosistemu-aralskogo-morya), which contributed to a deeper understanding of the problems of the region and further development of projects, including the Aral Geopark.
In this regard, the Executive Directorate of IFAS in Kazakhstan decided to support the GREENAID project and is ready to provide comprehensive assistance in its implementation.
