This is the second of two parts of Voz-Island (Vozrozhdeniya).

Nick Middleton travels across Kazakhstan to the world’s most toxic environmental disaster zone, Voz Island in the Aral Sea. He follows the Kazakh water course across the desert, starting in the pastures of the Tien Shan, and hunting with some of the world’s last golden eagle falconers, before flying in a home-made microlite following an ancient river course through the desert. He arrives at the Aral Sea, a lake which has become totally toxic through mismanagement of the water supply and overuse of chemical pesticides. It also has an island housing a former Soviet biological weapons testing centre.

What are the causes and consequences of the Aral sea disaster?
1) The Aral Sea region is in difficulty due to a reason other than the drying up and desertification of the sea, what is this?

2) Can the drying up of the sea have positive consequences? If so which?

3) What are the projects to revive the Aral Sea? Did they succeed/work? Why/why not?

Bresneff (?) – the old Soviet leader – decided that they were going to grow cotton in that area. So they started diverting water which went to the Aral Sea – and the Aral Sea has dried up largely…. which is a ungodly ecological disaster. And no – can’t think of any positive consequences. And haven’t heard about project or plans to get some water back in there.

But that is an example of why you don’t want One-Man rule – one total idiot can make some ill-conceived decision – and he can screw up an entire eco-system. They did that a lot in China when Mayo was still around – once he decided they needed to kill all the birds which were eating their seed – and the upshot to that was that the bugs then overran their fields. One-Man decisions are truly death.

i am doing a speech on the subject and i need to knwo the answer for the questions at the end

Apparently the root cause of both the drying up and the diseases (there are others) was a poorly managed agricultural irrigation system. As the lake drained and dried up pesticides and fertilizers were concentrated in the lwater and land, causing DNA damage to the people. We have a very similar situation in the USA with the Salton Sea

The economic recession has led to a sharp fall in EU emissions, making the current target to cut emissions by 20% before 2020 almost worthless.
