Inventory of green plants in Bishkek has not been carried out since 2005. This is stated in the Concept for the Development of the Green Fund of the Capital for 2017-2025.
According to the latest inventory, as of January 1, 2005, there were 11 parks, 47 public gardens, 8 gardens, 2 boulevards, 17 forest parks and groves, 90 plant species in the city.
According to experts, compared to 2005, the number of urban green spaces per capita significantly decreased — almost twice — in 2016.
We almost lost almost all the public gardens that were previously available in any district. The most dangerous thing is that the situation continues to deteriorate, despite a constant reminding of the problem.

Other serious problems of the green fund are irrigation network issues, soil depletion, compaction and asphalting of the trunks, wrong pruning of trees that leads to their diseases.
