Field note from Pavel Pashkov’s expedition

As part of the expedition, I plan to visit the so-called "legendary" tree-planting sites on the mountain slopes of Central Asia. Vast amounts of public money have been spent transporting identical saplings to these dried-out mountains, along with irrigation systems consisting of steel pipelines running across the slopes. I've already identified the exact coordinates and will be heading there soon. I want to see how it actually works on the ground, assess the condition of the saplings, and evaluate the effectiveness of these so-called "conservation measures."

I'll be sure to share everything with you. And a reminder, my friends: many of these updates will be published only for our headquarters. My other social media platforms will focus on general information and projects, while this is our space for firsthand field research and personal observations.
