Aral sea is an enclosed lake with salt water on the border of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

It is not so long ago, Aral sea was famous for its richest natural resources. Aral area had rich and full nature environment. No one stayed apathetic from its unique eco system and variety of flora and fauna. So it is not surprising, that Aral Sea was titled as Island on Turk language.  It was a real saving citadel of aliveness among hot sands of Karakum's and Kyzylkum's deserts.

By 1960 Aral sea was the top 4th Lake by its square in the world. But then sea level had started dramatically dropping down because of taking away of water from 2 main rivers which flowing into Aral sea. During 40 years Aral's total square decreased twice, water level dropped down on 18 meters, its volume declined in 5 times, salt level increased and fishes disappeared. 

By 1989, Aral sea was separated in two isolated reservoirs – the Large Aral (southern) on the territory of Uzbekistan and the Small Aral (northern) on the territory of Kazakhstan. By summer 2015, eastern part of Southern Aral sea dried up. 

Uzbekistan and other countries of Central Asia are taking steps for solving Aral sea ecological problem. Uzbekistan faces with a terrible after effects of Aral sea disaster. In 2013-2017, Uzbekistan realized over 500 projects to melt these consequences. Over 350 thousands of hectares of dried Aral bottom were seeded by saksauls and other salt resistant trees. 

The death of Aral sea should remind everyone that eco systems of the Earth are very weak. Any changes made by human will never pass without global consequences.
