The Kostanay region has joined a large-scale nationwide environmental campaign, held in the format of a teleconference with the participation of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. The initiative is being implemented as part of the nationwide program "Taza Kazakhstan" and is considered one of the key tools for shaping the country's modern environmental agenda.During the live broadcast, the Head of State outlined the strategic significance of the project, emphasizing its dual focus — practical improvement of territories and the formation of an environmental culture in society. According to the President, greening settlements is a long-term investment in the nation's health and a sustainable future.The central venue for the campaign in the region was the Triathlon Park in Kostanay — one of the focal points of the urban environment, where the environmental initiative gained the broadest public reach. Here, representatives of authorities, businesses, the volunteer movement, and city residents took part in tree planting. The work was led by the region's akim, Kumar Aksakalov. Among the participants were representatives of the industrial sector, including enterprises from the automotive industry and light industry, as well as agricultural producers."On the President's instructions, we in the region are not just holding campaigns, but building systematic work. 'Taza Kazakhstan' for us is about real results: clean streets, new trees, improved courtyards. We want the residents of the Kostanay region to see these changes every day and become part of these changes themselves," noted the head of the region.Residents of the region support environmental initiatives and note real changes."The city is indeed becoming cleaner and more comfortable. It's clear that the work is ongoing, not one-off: new trees are appearing, courtyards are being improved. I wish we ourselves would also treat what is being created with more care," shared Dana Tokzhanova, a resident of Kostanay.A symbolic yet practical result of the campaign was the planting of about 12 thousand trees in just one day. At the same time, as emphasized at the regional level, the key priority remains not only the scale of planting but also the subsequent systematic care of the green spaces.In a broader context, the region's environmental transformation is already showing tangible results. In 2024–2025, 40.3 billion tenge has been allocated for the implementation of specialized projects. During this period, over 400 public spaces have been improved, more than 250 children's and sports grounds have been created, about 600 unauthorized landfills have been eliminated, and over 1,250 dilapidated structures have been demolished. Concurrently, approximately 277 thousand trees have been planted, 1.3 thousand hectares of territories have been cleaned, and about 50 thousand tons of waste have been removed.Special emphasis has been placed on the development of public spaces as an element of a quality urban environment. The region has already established 80 such facilities, and in 2026, the implementation of another 25 projects is planned. Over the past three years, an additional 94 parks and squares have been created, significantly expanding the infrastructure for recreation and leisure.The comprehensive renewal also affects the housing stock. In the region, roof and facade repairs have been carried out on 180 apartment buildings. Plans include further planting of 77 thousand seedlings, roof and facade repairs for another 63 buildings, installation of 31 new children's and sports grounds, and continuation of work on demolishing dilapidated housing.The high involvement of the population and businesses confirms the sustainability of the emerging environmental culture: more than 105 thousand people and about 1.9 thousand enterprises participated in the sanitary measures.Thus, the implementation of the "Taza Kazakhstan" initiative in the Kostanay region goes beyond individual campaigns, forming a systematic approach to territorial development. It is not only about environmental changes but also about the transformation of the urban environment, improving the quality of life, and strengthening the region's long-term investment attractiveness.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1208764?lang=kk
