In Kazakhstan, Caspian Sea is disappearing at alarming pace
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.
