​​Once the world’s fourth-largest freshwater lake, the Aral Sea has lost nearly 90 percent of its water. In its place lies the Aralkum Desert—a vast area of exposed seabed that fuels toxic salt and dust storms. These storms degrade air quality and pose serious health risks, especially for children and older people. ​ 

​UNDP’s Green Aral Sea Initiative is restoring this fragile landscape by planting saxaul trees on the dried seabed. This hardy native tree survives where others cannot and plays a vital role in protecting communities.  

​As saxaul trees grow, they reduce harmful dust storms, improve air quality, and make living conditions safer. By stabilizing the land, they also help protect farmland, support livelihoods, and strengthen local economies, offering greater security and hope for families affected by the Aral Sea crisis. 

​So far, UNDP and partners have planted 925,000 saxaul saplings, but large areas remain exposed. 

**Donate today! $1 USD = 1 resilient tree**

​Your donation funds multiple saplings to ensure one tree survives and thrives—creating lasting benefits for people and communities across the Aral Sea region.​
