Save the Caspian Sea Joins the Blue Community – the First for Central Asia

Almaty, Kazakhstan, 22 January 2025 - Save the Caspian Sea is proud to announce its membership in the Blue Community, becoming the first organization from Central Asia to join this global network dedicated to the protection and sustainable management of water resources.

The Caspian Sea, the world’s largest enclosed body of water, is facing an unprecedented ecological crisis. Decades of industrial exploitation, pollution, and the impacts of climate change have caused the sea to shrink at an alarming rate, devastating its unique ecosystem and threatening the livelihoods of local communities.

Save the Caspian Sea, founded by environmental activist Vadim Ni, is on the frontlines of this critical issue. The campaign launched in December 2024 brings together NGOs, activists, and concerned citizens to raise awareness, hold polluters accountable, and implement solutions to protect this vital body of water for future generations.

"The Blue Community is a wonderful and crucial initiative. By fostering global cooperation, it helps promote the protection and sustainable use of water resources, raises awareness about water conservation, and encourages responsible water management practices at the local and international levels," said Vadim Ni, founder of Save the Caspian Sea.

The Blue Community welcomed Save the Caspian Sea with enthusiasm. Maude Barlow, co-founder of the initiative, remarked: "For the first time, a Blue Community on the Asian continent joins our network. This is so exciting, and there is so much to do. Uniting our forces, we can make a difference and turn the world blue. My best wishes and a very warm welcome to Save the Caspian Sea!"

This landmark partnership signals a new chapter in the global fight to preserve the Caspian Sea. With the backing of the Blue Community’s extensive international network, Save the Caspian Sea plans to amplify its efforts to raise global awareness of the Caspian’s silent crisis and mobilize international support to protect this irreplaceable body of water.
