ARA City RadioWhat's right: Hope for the Aral Sea regionEfforts to restore the Aral Sea region are offering new hope. Once the world’s fourth-largest lake, the Aral Sea, located between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, has shrunk dramatically over the past 50 years due to river diversion for irrigation, primarily for cotton farming. This environmental disaster transformed the area into the Aralkum Desert, marked by saline soil, toxic dust storms, and harsher climates.
Restoration projects are now taking root—literally. Environmental experts are planting black saxaul trees in the dried seabed as part of the Oasis project. These trees help stabilize the soil, reduce harmful dust, and combat desertification. Additionally, sustainable agri...2024-12-1102 min
State of the World from NPRAn Ecological Disaster in the Past and One in the MakingWe go to the borders between Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Afghanistan to see the dried up shores of what was once one of the largest lakes in the world, the Aral Sea. Mismanagement of the rivers that fed the sea because of demand for irrigation in the dry region, caused the Aral Sea to slowly disappear. And now an irrigation project being undertaken by the Taliban government in Afghanistan threatens to disrupt the ecological and economic balance of one of the main sources of water in the region.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices...2024-10-3106 min

Uzbekistan is at the crossroads of diverse material histories and migratory legacies.

It had been known to the people of the Asian steppes for thousands of years. However, by the end of the 20th century, the lake had all but disappeared. Somehow, over the course of a century, one of the world’s largest bodies of fresh water had all but vanished, stranding the many ships which once sailed the lake.Learn more about the Aral Sea and how it disappeared on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.2023-04-2511 min
