Community benefits
The afforestation project in Kazakhstan is expected to positively impact local communities and the environment in the Kyzylorda Region. Planting saxaul will help stabilise the soil, improve air quality, mitigate the impacts of sand-salt storms, and improve the overall environmental conditions in the area. The project will also provide jobs and other economic opportunities for the local communities. The project involves working closely with local communities, governments, and other stakeholders to ensure that the project is implemented sustainably and responsibly and that the benefits are shared by all.
Environmental benefits
Green Earth works closely with local communities to ensure that the project aligns with their needs and priorities and that they and the environment can benefit from the project's positive, long-term, sustainable impacts. This is achieved by collaborating with local partners, undertaking local consultations, developing community projects, providing training, and protecting local livelihoods.
