Kazakhstan is struggling with the problem of desertification and land degradation, especially in the southern regions and the Aral Sea region, where the annual release of about 150 million tons of salt is causing an ecological imbalance. One of the main plants that plays an important role in soil stabilization is saxaul, which covers an area of more than 6 million hectares. However, traditional methods of collecting its seeds are not effective enough, which slows down the process of restoring forests.The purpose of this study is to analyze scientific works aimed at developing an automated mechanism for collecting saxaul seeds using modern technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), remote sensing and robotics. The analysis considered the potential of satellite information (KazEOSat, Sentinel), deep learning methods (CNN, Random Forest), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), Internet of Things (IoT) systems and innovative solutions.The results of the study show that the introduction of modern technologies allows to increase the productivity of forest restoration measures and enhance the viability of plants. Moreover, these approaches can make a significant contribution to sustainable greening of the Aral Sea region. However, further research is needed to ensure their adaptation to the natural and climatic conditions of Kazakhstan.
