The Kazakhstan\u2019s developing economy stimulates the demand for wood products, while low forest cover (4.5%) encourages a careful attitude to forest resources. This explains why wood products are currently imported from abroad. At the same time, there are numerous possibilities to increase forest areas and improve the quality of wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of them is private sector involvement. In accordance with the Forest Code [1, 6], individuals and non-government legal entities are entitled to establish and grow plantations for various purposes, create nurseries and forest stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2015, with the technical support of Deutsche Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH (German Federal Enterprise for International Cooperation), a feasibility study was carried out on measures for private afforestation. This resulted in a joint decision by GIZ and the Committee on Forestry and Wildlife (CFW) of the Ministry of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources<\/a> on a pilot project as the basis for developing an effective mechanism of state co-financing of private afforestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2016, fast-growing tree species were planted in (6) six small experimental sites in three regions of the country \u2013 Almaty, Akmola and Zhambyl. Along with monitoring and data collection, GIZ experts supported the development of a regulatory framework governing private investment in afforestation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
