During the national autumn greening campaign across Turkmenistan, 449,464 tree seedlings were planted, reports TDH.
President Serdar Berdimuhamedov inaugurated the autumn season of the campaign by planting a 12-year-old Turkmen juniper, symbolically marking December 12 – International Neutrality Day.
In addition to planting new trees, the campaign included the care of 1,997,775 existing trees, along with cleaning and improving parks and forested areas.
Planting diverse tree species according to local soil and climate conditions will create green zones on mountain slopes and other landscapes across the country.

Specialists at the International Science and Technology Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, led by Durdymyrat Gadamov and Altyn Rahmanova, have developed a new-generation bio-agent designed to neutralize soil methane emissions. The solution utilizes local bacteria adapted to the regional climate, which harness methane monooxygenase to convert methane into carbon dioxide and water.
Methane is a major contributor to global warming, with a heat-trapping capacity in the atmosphere significantly higher than that of carbon dioxide. The newly developed bio-agent features high efficiency in industrially congested areas, cost-effectiveness through the use of local raw materials, and complete safety for human health and the environment.
This scientific breakthrough aligns with Turkmenistan's sustainable development strategy, supporting its commitments under the Global Methane Pledge to enhance environmental oversight in the energy sector.
