Dans cet épisode de Focus, nous nous intéressons aux initiatives écologiques ambitieuses de l'Ouzbékistan, que ce soit la protection d'une faune rare dans la réserve de Surkhan ou la plantation de milliards d'arbres, dans le but de lutter contre le changement climatique.
00:00Uzbekistan is making significant efforts to preserve its environment.
00:09Various programmes aim to ensure that the country's future, threatened by climate change, desertification and the crisis of the Aral Sea, is green and sustainable.
00:23I'm at the Surkhan State Reserve, a unique natural area in southern Uzbekistan near Termes.
00:29The reserve is home to many rare and endemic species with numerous endangered plants and animals.
00:36Today we will see how this precious environment is protected.
00:47I have joined a team of environmental inspectors to observe their work up close.
00:53Our journey begins at sunrise, which enhances our chances of sporting the rare animals that inhabit this region.
01:01The Surkhan Reserve is one of the most beautiful and diverse natural areas in Uzbekistan.
01:07Several years ago, a protected zone was established here, encompassing over 15,000 hectares to preserve its unique ecosystems.

01:33This remarkable animals are excellent climbers and can navigate challenging landscapes in search of food.
01:52We observed several herds and were able to get quite close using a drone.
01:56The rangers showed me a camera trap set up in the mountains, which had recently captured an image of an adult marhor, showcasing its impressive and distinctive twisted horns.
02:09The marhor is among the species found in this reserve, which are listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species.
02:35Since 2019, 17 new protected natural areas have been established in Uzbekistan as part of the country's green strategy aimed at preserving biodiversity.
02:46600 kilometers away at the Oral Sea, we can see why environmental issues are a top priority for Uzbekistan.
03:12The country is planting trees at what used to be at the bottom of the sea to address these challenges.
03:18Uzbekistan is the main part that was one of the first who suffered from the change of climate change.
