Project Summary / Description:

The "Zhashyl Muras" initiative was launched in 2022 with the goal of preserving Kyrgyzstan's natural heritage and improving the country's environmental situation. The campaign focuses on engaging youth, social groups, and educational institutions in active participation in greening efforts and environmental protection.

Key aspects of the initiative:

Tree planting and greening: The initiative includes large-scale tree planting across Kyrgyzstan, which not only improves the environment but also contributes to increasing green spaces in both urban and rural areas.

Creation of micro-reserves and micro-nurseries: The project will establish micro-reserves and micro-nurseries to preserve rare plant species and enhance biodiversity. These spaces will also serve as sources for growing seedlings, which will later be used for greening projects.

Seedling monitoring: A regular monitoring system will be organized to improve the survival and resilience of the seedlings. This will help track the growth of plants and their adaptation to various climatic conditions.

Mini-laboratory for developing resilient seedlings: The opening of a mini-laboratory will enable the development of new resilient seedling species that can better adapt to climate changes and ensure long-term environmental stability.

Educational and social programs: The campaign actively involves educational institutions, orphanages, and other social organizations in the process of tree planting and plant care. This helps cultivate environmental consciousness among future generations.

Goal of the initiative: The main goal is to improve the country’s ecological situation, reduce carbon levels in the atmosphere, and preserve Kyrgyzstan’s natural heritage for future generations.

This initiative brings together various social groups and promotes the development of environmentally sustainable practices at the national level

How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Reduces GHGs (e.g., projects that reduce sources of GHGs, such as through efficiency or other changes in consumption)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Our project empowers underrepresented groups such as youth, women, and communities in climate-vulnerable regions of Kyrgyzstan by actively involving them in meaningful climate actions. Through tree-planting campaigns, educational programs, and community-driven initiatives, we create opportunities for these groups to lead and contribute to environmental conservation efforts.

Youth are central to our mission, as reflected in our focus on engaging schools, orphanages, and educational institutions. We provide them with hands-on experience in tree planting, environmental education, and climate advocacy, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to become future leaders in sustainability.

Women play a critical role in our project, from grassroots mobilization to leadership. Our Executive Director and Project Coordinators are women who ensure that diverse perspectives are included in decision-making processes. This leadership structure reinforces gender equity within our organization and encourages women in local communities to participate actively.

By focusing on remote and underserved areas, we empower climate-vulnerable communities to build resilience through reforestation and ecological restoration. We prioritize collaboration with local leaders to ensure that the needs and voices of these communities are heard and addressed.

Inclusion and empowerment are at the core of our project, ensuring that marginalized groups actively shape and benefit from climate solutions.
