Astana, March 3 (Xinhua) — The government of Kazakhstan has approved the Concept for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biodiversity for 2026-2035, which defines state policy in the areas of environmental protection, ecosystem restoration, and the rational use of natural resources. This was reported on Tuesday by the Kazinform news agency, citing the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Kazakhstan.

The concept aims to fulfill the country's obligations under the Convention on Biological Diversity, as well as to achieve the goals of the Kunming-Montreal Global Framework for Biodiversity, which sets a vector for restoring harmony between people and nature by 2050.

The concept defines key areas and sets target indicators for public policy, providing for a transition from responding to environmental damage to active management of natural capital.

According to the document, by 2035, the area of specially protected natural areas in Kazakhstan is planned to expand from 31 million to 33.2 million hectares, and the forest cover area is planned to increase from 13.9 million to 14.7 million hectares through forest conservation and restoration measures. The concept also calls for improving the system for monitoring and protecting wildlife, sustainable use of fish resources, combating pasture degradation, and developing science-based approaches to ecosystem management.
