AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoCaspian Sea in Retreat: A new island has emerged near Kazakhstan’s coast as the sea level falls. The Kazakh sector has dropped about 2.5 metres in three decades, shrinking the surveyed northeastern waters by more than 16,000 square kilometres. The retreat threatens seals, wetlands, fisheries and coastal infrastructure. Regional Response: Kazakhstan is developing an interstate program with a focus on water-level decline, biodiversity, pollution and monitoring, alongside UN-backed coastal projects and plans for a Caspian research institute. Tokayev is in Turkmenistan for a summit that includes a Caspian environmental meeting. Japan has also committed $3 million to sea monitoring. Water and Land: A Kyrgyzstan-led project will restore at least 264 hectares in the Syr Darya basin, where glacier loss and changing river flows pose risks to downstream water supplies, including Kazakhstan’s. Wildlife: Two Przewalski’s horse foals have been born in Kazakhstan as conservationists work to rebuild the wild population.
