Termez State University (TerSU) integrates ecological considerations and green-space development into its campus construction, reconstruction and site-improvement activities. In 2025, university management reviewed physical infrastructure projects alongside the expansion of vegetated areas, plans for tree diversity and the creation of shaded public spaces. The university’s documented activities connect campus development decisions with the conservation and enhancement of living landscapes.

Biodiversity-sensitive planning in capital development
On 4 August 2025, the Rector of TerSU, Professor Abduqodir Toshqulov, inspected major construction, reconstruction and landscaping activities in preparation for the academic year. The official university report explicitly linked capital improvement works with the extension of green areas and the introduction of rare tree species in the Chemistry Faculty precinct.

Recorded planning and biodiversity-related consideration |

Chemistry Faculty grounds |
Campus green zones to be extended, with rare tree species included in the landscape planting plan. |
|
Chemistry Faculty building |
Capital reconstruction of a 450-seat assembly hall reviewed alongside improvement of the surrounding precinct. |
|
Student promenade on A. Navoi Street |
Planning discussions specified a shaded place for students, employees, local residents and visitors. |
|
Second student dormitory / services area |
Ground-floor service reconstruction considered within the wider student-amenity and public-space redevelopment programme. |
The 4 August record is particularly relevant to Indicator 15.3.3: it identifies a development decision in which vegetation and tree-species considerations were incorporated into the plans of a named university precinct, rather than treating planting as an unrelated awareness event.
Green-space considerations alongside building works
On 19 March 2025, university leadership reviewed active construction and landscaping operations across the campus. The Rector inspected building works and, during the same visit, paid specific attention to planting carried out under the national Yashil Makon (Green Space) initiative. The university described the trees as contributing to shade, the educational environment and improved local ecological conditions.

Contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals
TerSU’s 2025 development approach brings campus vegetation into the discussion and planning of buildings and publicly accessible spaces. By pairing reconstruction decisions with the enlargement of green areas, tree-species selection and shaded landscape design, the University demonstrates consideration of terrestrial biodiversity in its institutional development process.
This work supports SDG 15 (Life on Land), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 13 (Climate Action) by connecting vegetated areas, tree diversity and shaded public-space design with the university’s physical development decisions.
