"It is worth noting that today's event to launch a tree planting marathon in educational institutions has a deep symbolic meaning, especially since it is being held in the Republic of Karakalpakstan. Because the head of our state personally pays special attention to radically improving the ecological situation in the Aral and Aral Sea regions, implementing the "Green Space" and "Green Belt" projects.
The tasks set in this regard are being fully implemented every year with great organization within the system of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovations.
In particular, in the fall of 2024, it is planned to plant a total of 407 thousand seedlings of ornamental and fruit trees and shrubs by higher and vocational educational institutions," said Minister Q. Sharipov in his speech.
