FRANCE 24 English 
The world’s largest landlocked body of water, the Caspian Sea, is evaporating at an alarming pace. Since the 1990s, its level has fallen by more than 3 metres. With ports drying up, fishing in decline and the economy in turmoil, Kazakhstan is bearing the brunt of the consequences. Like the Aral Sea before it, the Caspian could dry up almost completely if no action is taken. That would be an ecological disaster with massive consequences for the whole country. FRANCE 24’s Lucie Berbey and Mathieu Beaudouin report, with Anna Hartley.

There's too many prople on this planet
Those plain look like mongolia..
The Aral Sea all over again
Beautiful country
Aral sea is filling up. Poseidon must be pranking people.
Lake Aral has begun to revive recently, the retreat of Caspian Sea may be related to that Russia and Kazakhistan constructed so many reservoirs on the rivers which run into Caspian Sea.
Russia is stealing all the water. It's what they do!
first, Aral sea, due to destructive Soviet agricultural politics; now Caspian sea 😔
Its a lake
At least the cotton is cheap.
this what Moscow´s cotton slavery do to Central Asia
this what Moscow´s slave cotton production did to Central Asia , Moscow empire must pay its colonial bills !
The world I was born in, and the world I'm going to die in seam to have very little in common.
🤔 when Kazakhstan's aral lake part start to revive their caspian sea (lake) part start to recede
😅 Moscow slave cotton! I believe its their decision to keep growing the cotton and some of your maybe wore it.
Kazakhstan is the richest country in central asia dude they able to build their new capital to move the Kazakhs from south to the north.
I wish I could visit that sea before it disappears. 😮
Global warming has NOTHING do with the problem. Stop water diversion.
Humans destroy everything they lay their fingers on. And only humanity can save what's been destroyed.
200 million years? We are good
Couldn't have anything to do with governments weather manipulation people still think its crazy simple google search shows otherwise
2:20 since the water is shallow and warming fastest, bacteria and algae blooms will wreck your eco system – like Florida!
I thought land would be submerged in water the years to come, not otherwise 😂
Is there any possibility to send Black Sea water into Caspian Sea?
Self inflicted
A sea of grass
There is no global warming, unless you believe in c.ov.id 19 and 9/11
this is what russia does bring arab speaking asians to europe … the europeans are probably in japan now out of siberia. I was gonna say share with ukraine the spoils but i think you should follow YOUR seas 😀
From the documentary I watched called "BORAT" this country is the best exporter of potassium.
