Preparing for the autumn season: tree pruning, removing dangerous branches and maintaining green spaces. 16.09.2025
On September 16, 2025, employees of the Karatau municipal state institution carried out extensive work in preparation for the autumn-winter season. Particular attention was paid to sanitary tree pruning, removing dangerous branches that were ready to break, and maintaining green spaces throughout the district. All these measures are aimed not only at improving the city's amenities but also at ensuring the safety of residents. With the arrival of autumn in Shymkent, as in many other regions, strong winds intensify and storms are common. During such periods, broken branches and falling trees can pose a serious threat to public health, as well as to vehicles, power lines, and urban infrastructure. Therefore, preventative measures are of the utmost importance. Karatau specialists carefully inspected every tree in their assigned areas, trimming dead and damaged branches that posed a hazard to passersby and car owners. These measures not only help prevent potential accidents but also promote healthy tree growth, improving the appearance of streets and courtyards. Pruning and maintaining green spaces is also important from an environmental perspective. Trees are the city's "lungs," a source of oxygen and clean air. Proper care helps maintain the natural balance. In addition to pruning the branches, utility workers cleaned the area. The collected branches and other plant waste were removed using specialized equipment. This was done with due consideration for recycling, which complies with modern environmental requirements. The main goal of all events is to create a calm and safe environment for residents of the Karatau district. In recent years, there have been instances of trees falling due to strong winds in the fall, damaging property and creating hazardous situations. Preventive measures reduce the risk of such incidents. The institution's representatives noted: "Safety is our top priority. All measures taken are aimed at protecting city residents, their health, and their property. At the same time, we strive to respect nature and preserve green spaces." Green spaces are not only a natural treasure but also a city's beauty. Clean streets, well-maintained trees, and tidy parks create a cozy atmosphere and contribute to residents' good mood. The daily work of Karatau's staff helps maintain order and improve the city's appearance. However, utility workers emphasize that the efforts of one service alone are not enough. Every resident has a responsibility to care for the city: not litter, protect young trees, and respect the work of workers. Only through a joint effort can we maintain cleanliness and order. Local residents praise the utility service's work. They say such measures are especially important ahead of the windy season. "We know there are severe storms in the fall. If we don't remove dead branches in time, it can lead to disaster. So, pruning the trees is the right thing to do. Plus, the streets look much better," one resident shared. Others note that such work should be carried out systematically, not limited to just preparing for autumn. Regular tree maintenance will not only ensure safety but also improve the environment. The events held on September 16 demonstrated that Karatau KSU takes safety seriously. Removing hazardous branches and performing sanitary pruning have become important preventative measures to prevent accidents during autumn storms. But this work has a broader significance. It fosters a responsible attitude toward nature and emphasizes the importance of caring for green spaces. Caring for every tree means caring for the future of the city and its residents. Preserving and improving green spaces should be a shared responsibility for public services and residents. Everyone can contribute, whether by participating in cleanup days, maintaining parks, or simply keeping the streets clean. The work of KSU's Karatau is a shining example of how a systematic approach to safety and the environment helps create comfortable and safe living conditions. Many challenges remain, but it's already clear: Shymkent is ready to welcome autumn calmly and confidently, as the safety and well-being of its residents is a priority.
Preparations for the fall season: tree pruning, removal of dangerous branches that are close to breaking, and maintenance of greenery are underway 16.09.2025
On September 16, 2025, employees of the Karatau municipal state institution carried out extensive work in preparation for the autumn season. In particular, special attention was paid to pruning trees in the city, removing dangerous branches that were close to breaking, and maintaining greenery. All of this work is aimed at ensuring the safety of residents, as well as preserving and protecting nature. As autumn approaches, the weather in the city becomes more unpredictable, with strong winds and storms becoming more frequent. In such cases, broken branches and fallen trees can pose a threat to people's health, vehicles, and infrastructure. Therefore, advance preparation is the main mechanism for ensuring the safety of residents. With this in mind, specialists from the Karatau municipal state institution carefully inspected each tree, cutting down dangerous branches and carrying out cleaning work. This is necessary not only for safety, but also to ensure proper tree growth and maintain the beautiful appearance of the greenery. Tree trimming and maintenance are also carried out to maintain ecological balance. Every green space is the lungs of the city, a guarantee of clean air. Therefore, its proper maintenance is a form of care for nature. The employees of the institution not only cut down the branches, but also carried out sanitary cleaning measures. The collected branches and waste were removed using special equipment. In this case, the issues of recycling and efficient use of natural resources were also taken into account. Creating a calm and safe environment for the residents of Karatau district is the main goal of the institution's work. It is no secret that in recent years, emergency situations caused by adverse weather conditions have become more frequent. Fallen trees during autumn storms can cut off power lines, damage vehicles, and cause inconvenience to residents. The measures taken to prevent such situations are extremely important for the safety of city residents. Representatives of the institution noted : "Safety is our main focus. Every step we take is aimed at ensuring the well-being and comfortable life of the population. We simultaneously protect nature and protect the interests of residents." The green flag is not only a natural resource, but also the pride of the city. Beautiful, well-groomed streets, parks and courtyards provide comfort to residents. In this regard, the employees of the Karatau Municipal Public Works Department are of great merit. They make every effort to ensure cleanliness and order in every corner of the city every day. The institution also encourages residents to be compassionate towards nature. If everyone does not litter on the streets, does not cut down young trees, and takes part in protecting flower beds, our city will become much more beautiful and comfortable. The city's residents are grateful for the work done. "There are predictions of strong winds this fall. Pruning trees in advance and removing dangerous branches is a good decision. This will not only improve safety, but will also help to beautify the streets," says one of the local residents. Some residents would like to see such events organized more often, because safety and cleanliness depend on systematic actions, not just seasonal work. The work carried out on September 16 showed how much the Karatau municipal state institution cares about the safety of city residents. The measures taken in preparation for the autumn winds and storms are not just a technical task, but an important step that directly affects the life, health and comfortable living of every citizen. Protecting nature is a common cause for all of us. Taking care of every tree, keeping every area clean is a legacy for future generations. Karatau Municipal Environmental Protection Agency will continue to work with this principle and contribute to creating a safe and comfortable environment for city residents.
In the Yenbekshinsky district, cleaning work is carried out daily and systematically. 16.09.2025
In Shymkent's Enbekshinsky District, large-scale improvement and cleanliness projects are regularly carried out. The events are organized by the city's Department of Natural Resources in collaboration with Inteko Group. The main goal is to create a comfortable and safe urban environment for residents, improve environmental awareness, and preserve the city's attractive appearance. In the Yenbekshinsky district, employees of the contracting organization perform a wide range of work: Street washing. Specialized street cleaning vehicles are deployed to major roads morning and evening. This reduces dust levels, improves air quality, and extends the lifespan of the road surface. Bus Stop Cleaning. Since thousands of city residents gather at bus stops every day, special attention is paid to their sanitary conditions. Regular cleaning ensures cleanliness and makes waiting for transport more comfortable. Gutter cleaning. Rainfall is more frequent in the fall, and promptly clearing gutters of debris and leaves helps prevent flooding and road damage. Sidewalk cleaning. Sidewalks are cleared of debris and dust daily to ensure free and safe pedestrian movement. Not only utility services but also residents themselves play a vital role in maintaining cleanliness. According to representatives of the Department of Natural Resources, community participation has increased significantly: residents of apartment buildings are participating in cleanup days, and schoolchildren and students are joining in to clean up courtyards and parks. The city administration emphasizes that cleanliness is the responsibility not only of utility workers but of every citizen. If everyone takes care of their yards, streets, and parks, the entire city will become cleaner and more comfortable. The slogan "A Clean City – A Bright Future!" reflects the core idea of all events. Maintaining cleanliness is not only a pressing need today but also a responsibility to future generations. Environmental care manifests itself in small details: properly disposing of trash, caring for green spaces, and maintaining order in public spaces. All of this impacts people's health, living comfort, and the positive image of Shymkent. The Department of Natural Resources monitors the effectiveness of cleanup operations daily. Contractors report on their work, recording the volume of garbage removed, and the cleaning of streets and gutters. Inteko Group utilizes modern equipment and trained personnel, enabling prompt and efficient cleaning. In the event of complaints or inquiries from residents, teams are dispatched to the site and resolve the issue promptly. Cleanliness is an indicator of a society's culture and consciousness. If people only throw trash in trash bins and maintain order in public spaces, cleaning costs will be significantly reduced. That's why schools, colleges, and universities are actively promoting environmental education. Educational institutions organize themed lessons and training sessions where children are taught the importance of waste sorting, conserving water and green spaces, and keeping the city clean. Maintaining a city's cleanliness is directly related to the health of its residents. Accumulated trash becomes a breeding ground for pests, and dust triggers respiratory illnesses and allergies. Therefore, regularly washing streets and cleaning sidewalks is not only an aesthetic measure but also a health concern. This is especially important for children and the elderly, who are more sensitive to environmental pollution. Cleanup efforts in the Yenbekshinsky District will continue on an ongoing basis. By the end of autumn, all central streets are planned to be fully cleaned, ditches cleared, and the city prepared for the winter season. Particular attention is paid to preparing municipal vehicles for winter, so that when snow falls and ice forms, road safety can be quickly ensured. Future plans include expanding the cleaning equipment fleet, introducing new waste recycling technologies, and establishing a waste separation system. All of this will take operations to a new level and improve the city's environmental situation. On September 16, the work carried out in the Yenbekshinsky District became further proof that keeping the city clean requires daily work and shared responsibility. The efforts of the Department of Natural Resources and Inteko Group LLP are aimed at ensuring that Shymkent residents live in a comfortable and healthy environment. Cleanliness is a reflection of culture, awareness, and respect for others. If everyone contributes to maintaining order, our city will become not only beautiful but also truly modern and livable.
Cleaning work is being carried out systematically every day in the Enbekshi district. 16.09.2025
Cleaning work is being carried out systematically every day in the Enbekshi district of Shymkent. The city's Department of Nature and "Inteko Group" LLP are jointly involved in these activities. The main goal is to create a clean and comfortable environment for residents, improve the appearance of the city, and strengthen environmental culture. Cleanup activities in the Enbekshi district are being carried out in several areas: Street washing. Special water trucks wash the main streets in the morning and evening. This helps reduce dust, preserve the road surface for a longer period, and keep the air clean. Washing bus stops. Since public transport stops are places where many people gather, cleanliness is of great importance. Washing removes dust and debris from bus stops, creating a more comfortable environment for residents. Cleaning gutters. Since the autumn season is rich in precipitation, it is especially important to clean gutters and gutters of debris in a timely manner. This will prevent flooding and damage to the streets. Cleaning of pedestrian paths. Garbage, leaves, and dust from sidewalks are also swept away daily, ensuring the free and safe movement of residents. Not only the employees of the contractor, but also local residents are actively involved in the cleaning work. Especially the residents of the courtyards, youth organizations and volunteers are especially involved. They come out on Saturdays and tidy up their courtyards. As the city administration noted, maintaining cleanliness is the common duty of every citizen, not just municipal institutions. If every resident pays attention to the cleanliness of their home, yard, and street, the entire city will become more beautiful. The slogan "A clean city is a bright future!" defines the main goal and idea of cleaning work in the Enbekshy district. This is not only a need for today, but also a responsibility to future generations. Taking care of the environment, keeping the streets free of garbage, and protecting green spaces – all of this has a direct impact on health, quality of life, and the culture of the city. Living in a beautiful and clean city improves the quality of life for every resident and sets an example for children. The Department of Nature directly monitors the effective implementation of cleaning work. Each contractor has a work plan approved and reports are submitted daily. Inteko Group LLP, using special equipment and experienced workers, continuously cleans the designated areas. In addition, residents' complaints are not ignored. If garbage accumulates in a certain area or the bins are clogged, this problem is urgently resolved. Cleanliness is not just a communal measure, it is an indicator of the culture of society. If people put their garbage in special bins and maintain order in public places, the effort and money spent on cleaning will be significantly reduced. Therefore, representatives of the administration always call on residents to be responsible. The importance of environmental education in schools, colleges, and universities is increasing. Special lessons and trainings are organized for children on nature protection, garbage sorting, and keeping the city clean. Clean streets are not only for beauty, but also for health . Accumulated garbage causes the proliferation of pests and unpleasant odors. And excessive dust and pollen can cause allergies and respiratory diseases. Therefore, washing streets and cleaning sidewalks is an important step towards protecting the health of residents. Such measures are especially important for children and the elderly. Cleaning work in the Enbekshi district will continue in the future. According to the plan, the main streets will be completely washed and the gutters and drains will be put in order by October. In addition, the readiness of snow removal equipment is being checked as part of preparations for the winter season. The city administration intends to increase the number of modern cleaning equipment and develop a waste sorting system in the future. This will raise environmental culture to a new level and improve the ecological situation in Shymkent. The cleaning work that took place in the Enbekshy district on September 16 is a daily, but very important part of city life. The work of the Department of Nature and Inteko Group LLP has created conditions for residents to live in a comfortable and clean environment. Cleanliness is a measure of each person's culture and responsibility. If we all work together to treat nature with compassion and preserve the beauty of our city, we will leave a clean and comfortable city for future generations.
Another cleanup day was held in the Tasken residential area with the participation of residents of the area. 13.09.2025
On September 13, 2025, another cleanup day was held in the Tasken residential area of Shymkent's Karatau District. Residents of the district, active youth, volunteers, and utility workers participated in the environmental action. During the clean-up day the following was carried out: collection of household waste; 🔹 Removal of construction waste using specialized equipment; 🔹 mowing grass and removing weeds; 🔹 Street washing and improvement of public spaces. It's important to note that similar events are held regularly in various parts of the city. Since August of this year, cleanup days have already taken place in the Nursat, Turan-1, Turan-2, Nurtas, and Tassay microdistricts. Each time, we've seen increasing citizen participation, and the results are visible: streets are cleaner, courtyards are more tidy, and public spaces are more pleasant to relax in. The main goal of these campaigns is to create a comfortable and clean environment for city residents , as well as to foster environmental awareness and a responsible attitude towards the environment. A cleanup day isn't just about picking up trash. It's a symbol of community unity, bringing people together around a common goal. By participating in such events, residents contribute to the improvement of their neighborhoods and set an example for children and young people. Participation in environmental events plays an important educational role for the younger generation. It fosters a caring attitude toward nature and a sense of responsibility for shared spaces. It's especially helpful when parents bring their children to such events, as this instills environmental awareness from an early age. This time, special attention was paid to the removal of construction waste and bulky debris. Trucks and other specialized equipment were deployed for this purpose. Accumulating such waste in vacant lots or near residential buildings not only spoils the appearance of the area but also negatively impacts sanitary conditions. In addition, special vehicles washed the streets. This helps reduce dust levels and improve air quality, which is especially important for the health of city residents. Local residents participated in the cleanup with great enthusiasm. Families with children, senior citizens, and students attended. Many emphasized that a clean courtyard or street creates a pleasant atmosphere and improves their quality of life. Some residents took the initiative and began to improve their courtyards: planting flowers, whitewashing trees, and beautifying flowerbeds. These actions demonstrate that the cleanup day is gradually evolving from a one-time event into a genuine tradition of caring for their hometown. The cleanup event was organized by the Karatau District Akimat and the Department for the Development of a Comfortable Urban Environment . Municipal services provided the necessary equipment and supplies, as well as specialized machinery. Volunteers assisted with resident coordination and outreach. Akimat representatives noted that such events will be held regularly and will cover all districts of the city. Particular emphasis is placed on maintaining cleanliness not only during cleanup days but every day. Environmental conservation is a crucial task for modern society. Urban growth, increasing vehicle traffic, and construction put pressure on the environment. In this context, cleanup efforts are especially important. A city's cleanliness is directly linked to the health of its residents. Green spaces, well-maintained courtyards, and clean streets contribute to a better environment and create comfortable living conditions. That's why participating in cleanup days is an investment not only for today but also for future generations. The slogan "A clean city is a comfortable city" should become a core principle for every resident. After all, municipal services alone cannot ensure order in every courtyard and on every street. Only through joint efforts can real results be achieved. If everyone follows simple rules—throw away trash in designated areas, keep their neighborhoods clean, and preserve green spaces—our city will become truly comfortable and beautiful. Furthermore, participating in cleanup days strengthens good-neighborly relations. People get to know each other better, unite around a common cause, and create a friendly atmosphere in neighborhoods. City authorities have already announced that they plan to hold more cleanup days in other neighborhoods and residential areas in the coming months. Youth organizations and volunteer groups will be more actively involved in these events. Schools and universities are also planning to hold special environmental lessons and lectures to instill in the younger generation the habit of caring for cleanliness and nature. The cleanup day held in Tusken on September 13th was another step toward creating a clean, comfortable, and beautiful city. It demonstrated that significant results can be achieved through joint efforts.
Another Shabbat event was held in the "Tasken" microdistrict of the Karatau district of Shymkent city 13.09.2025
On September 13, 2025, another Saturday event was held in the "Tasken" microdistrict of the Karatau district of Shymkent. This time, residents of the district, youth, volunteers, and municipal employees participated in the environmental campaign. During the event: 🔹 Household waste has been collected on the streets; 🔹 Construction waste was removed with special equipment; 🔹 Weeds that were causing harm to the environment were mowed and the area was cleaned; 🔹 Streets have been washed and public spaces have been cleaned up. It is worth noting that such clean-up events have been organized in several microdistricts of the city since August. Previously, large-scale cleaning operations were carried out in the territories of Nursat, Turan-1, Turan-2, Nurtas and Tassai . The activity of residents increases with each clean-up event, and the results of the event are clearly visible. The main goal of such initiatives is to create a clean and comfortable environment for city residents , as well as strengthen environmental culture and increase environmental responsibility in society. Senbilik is not just a garbage collection. It is an event that increases the solidarity of the people, unites citizens in the cause of common interests. By contributing to the cleanliness of the city, residents not only beautify their neighborhood, but also set a good example for children and youth. Such events have a great educational value for the younger generation. By participating in the Sabbilik, they learn to protect nature and respect public space. Especially when parents take their children with them, environmental education begins in the family. This time, special trucks and equipment were deployed to remove construction waste and bulky household waste. Construction waste accumulated around residential buildings or in vacant lots not only negatively affects the environmental situation, but also poses a threat to the safety of residents. In addition, special water trucks washed the streets. Such work not only maintains sanitary cleanliness, but also improves air quality and reduces dust. Residents who participated in the Saturday cleaning happily supported this event and expressed their interest. Especially the activity of pensioners and young people was noticeable. "The city is our common home. If we keep our home clean, we will be happier," the opinion was supported by many. Some residents even put in extra work, tidying up flower beds in their yards and whitewashing trees. Such dedication shows that Shabbat has acquired a truly folk character. The Karatau District Akimat and the Urban Environment Development Department played a coordinating role in organizing the event. Municipal institutions provided the necessary equipment and machinery, and volunteers supported the mobilization of residents. Representatives of the akimat said that such work will continue systematically, adding that each area of the city will be cleaned in stages. They also called on residents to maintain order and cleanliness not only during Shabbat, but also in everyday life. Environmental protection is one of the most pressing issues of our time. The rapid development of cities around the world and the increase in population are increasing the burden on nature. In this context, the importance of Sabbaths is particularly important. By maintaining cleanliness, we not only protect nature, but also leave a favorable environment for future generations. Green areas and clean streets are a guarantee of children's health. Therefore, Shabbat is a good deed done not only for today, but also for tomorrow. The principle of "A clean city is a comfortable city" should be firmly established in the hearts of every resident. Because not only municipal services, but every citizen is responsible for the cleanliness of the city. If everyone took out their household waste on time and threw it in special places, respect for the environment would increase. Also, residents' participation in yard cleaning strengthens relationships between neighbors. Working together on a common cause brings people closer together, creating an atmosphere of friendship and respect in the area. Such clean-ups will continue in Shymkent. In the coming months, cleaning activities are planned in various microdistricts and residential areas. Representatives of the akimat intend to make these events a permanent tradition. In addition, youth organizations and volunteer movements will undertake information work to promote environmental culture, including environmental education in schools and universities. The "Tasken" microdistrict cleanup event held on September 13 was a manifestation of the special care taken by the city of Shymkent for its cleanliness. This event not only enhanced the beauty of the city, but also mobilized residents for a common cause and contributed to the development of environmental culture.
Urban Comfort Development Department: Those primarily responsible for the city's cleanliness are, first and foremost, its residents. 13.09.2025
A city is more than just buildings, roads, and infrastructure. It's our shared home, the place where we live, raise our children, and welcome guests. Every courtyard, every street, every park, and every public garden is a part of a larger home for which we are all responsible. That's why keeping the city clean and well-maintained isn't just the responsibility of public services, but the responsibility of every resident. In Shymkent, this important mission is carried out daily by Zhasyl-Zher Shymkent LLC , which is part of the Department for the Development of a Comfortable Urban Environment. The company's employees work to ensure the city's streets, courtyards, parks, and squares remain clean, green, and welcoming for all residents. Zhasyl-Zher Shymkent workers take to the streets early in the morning, before most city residents head to work or school. Their work often goes unnoticed, but it's thanks to their efforts that we see well-maintained alleys, swept streets, and clean courtyards. They work in all weather conditions—the summer heat, the autumn damp, or the winter frost. For them, this isn't just a job; it's a great responsibility to the city's residents. Every bag of trash collected, every tree or flowerbed planted, contributes to the overall appearance of Shymkent. It is believed that a society's level of culture is largely determined by its attitude toward cleanliness. Where streets are well-maintained, where residents don't litter, but care for their city, order and development are always visible. Unfortunately, there are still instances of people acting carelessly: throwing bottles and candy wrappers in parks, leaving bags near apartment buildings, or breaking benches. Such actions not only spoil the city's appearance but also harm the environment. The situation can only be changed through joint efforts. And we need to start with ourselves: don't throw paper away, teach your child to respect nature and urban spaces. Zhasyl-Zher Shymkent carries out a huge amount of work, but one company is not enough to keep the city clean. It's important for every resident to feel responsible for their community. If everyone keeps their own yard and street tidy, the entire city will sparkle with cleanliness. And it's important for children to set a personal example: if they see parents who care about the city, they develop a healthy attitude toward the environment. Keeping a city clean isn't just a matter of convenience and aesthetics; it's also a concern for the future. Today's schoolchildren will grow up and live in the city we leave behind. If they see dirty streets, piles of trash, and broken benches now, they may develop an indifference to the world around them in the future. But if they grow up among green alleys, clean courtyards and well-kept squares, they will learn to protect nature and respect the work of other people. Zhasyl-Zher Shymkent's work involves more than just garbage collection. Much attention is paid to the city's greenery. Thousands of trees are planted annually, and new flowerbeds and gardens are created. This isn't just decoration; it's an important element of environmental safety. Trees purify the air, provide shade on hot days, and create a sense of comfort. Within a few years, every planted sapling grows into a spreading tree, pleasing to the eye and beneficial to the community. Therefore, greening initiatives should be viewed as a good deed we do for future generations. Visitors to Shymkent first and foremost notice the cleanliness of the streets and public spaces. This is precisely what determines their first impression of the city. If the streets are well-maintained, the roads are clean, and the parks are green, it speaks volumes about the residents' culture and responsibility. But if there's trash and devastation at every turn, it casts a shadow on all city residents. Therefore, cleanliness is not only a matter of convenience but also of the city's reputation. The staff of Zhasyl-Zher Shymkent perform their duties conscientiously, but their efforts will be even more effective if residents support them. When people come out for cleanup days, participate in environmental campaigns, and maintain order in their yards, it creates an atmosphere of shared responsibility and unity. After all, if everyone makes a small contribution – someone plants a tree, someone cleans up the trash, someone simply teaches a child to be neat – the result will be a clean and beautiful city for all of us. The city is our common home. Taking care of it is everyone's responsibility. Clean streets, courtyards, and parks are a sign of culture and respect for oneself and others. The staff of Zhasyl-Zher Shymkent work daily to keep Shymkent clean and green. But without the support of residents, their efforts will not be fully effective. Therefore, it's important to remember: a clean city is a shared dream that can only be realized together . If everyone takes care of its order, our city will not only be comfortable to live in but also a source of pride for all its residents.
Department of Urban Environment Development: The main causes of city cleanliness are, first of all, city residents 13.09.2025
The city is not just buildings and streets. The city is a common home for people, an environment that will remain a legacy for generations. Every yard, every street, every garden and park is a part of this big house. Therefore, the cleanliness and beauty of the city is the common responsibility of every citizen, not just a specific institution. One of the organizations that fulfills this important task in Shymkent every day is “Zhasyl-Zher Shymkent” LLP, which is under the Department of Urban Environment Development. This institution is engaged in cleaning, landscaping, and planting of city streets, courtyards, and parks. The work of the employees of “Zhasyl-Zher Shymkent” LLP is visible to the city's residents. They start work early in the morning, despite the heat and rain, cleaning the streets, collecting garbage, and maintaining greenery. This work is often invisible, but the beauty of the city and the comfortable life of its residents are thanks to that hard work. Every clean yard, every flowerbed and park is the result of that work. The culture of a city begins, first of all, with cleanliness. Where there is cleanliness, there is order, and where there is order, there is development and prosperity. A street without litter, an unbroken bench, an undamaged playground are evidence of the residents' respect for the city. Unfortunately, some citizens still neglect cleanliness. Actions such as throwing garbage on the streets, leaving bottles or paper in yards not only spoil the beauty of the city, but also harm the environment. To prevent such actions, each resident must start with themselves. The prosperity and beauty of Shymkent is not only the responsibility of the employees of “Zhasyl-Zher Shymkent”. The city belongs to all of us. If every resident keeps his yard and street clean, the work of special workers will double, and our city will become even more prosperous. For example, teaching children playing on the playground the habit of throwing garbage in the trash can is the duty of every parent. The fact that young people maintain order in parks or on the street is a reflection of their culture. And the example set by adults is the educational foundation of society. If we keep the city clean today, we will give tomorrow's generation a bright future. Because the younger generation will repeat what they see from us. If they grow up in a clean, beautiful city, they will also develop compassion for nature and the city in the future. Representatives of “Zhasyl-Zher Shymkent” LLP also attach special importance to this. They not only carry out cleaning work, but also try to actively involve residents in various environmental campaigns and Sabbaths. Such events educate people to respect nature and the city. City cleanliness is not just about collecting garbage. It is about planting new trees, creating flower beds, and improving recreation areas. Every year, thousands of trees are planted and landscaping is carried out in Shymkent. This not only beautifies the city, but also helps to clean the air and improve the ecological situation. Every planted tree is an investment in the future. After a few years, it will become a shady grove, providing residents with shade and clean air. Therefore, participation in tree planting is the duty of every citizen. A visitor to a city first of all pays attention to the cleanliness of the streets and the improvement of public places. If the city is clean, this indicates the culture and responsibility of the residents. Therefore, every resident of Shymkent should not be indifferent to the appearance of the city. A clean city is our pride, and carelessness is a shadow over our dignity. The employees of “Zhasyl-Zher Shymkent” are doing their job conscientiously. However, the complete preservation of the cleanliness of the city does not depend only on their efforts. This is a joint effort of residents, volunteers, young people, entrepreneurs, and society as a whole. Unity plays a special role in the issue of cleanliness. If everyone contributes in their own way - someone participates in the Shabbat, someone cleans their yard, someone throws trash in a special bin - as a result, the whole city will shine. The city is our common home. Keeping this home clean is the duty of each of us. Cleanliness is a sign of order, culture, and civilization. The team of “Zhasyl-Zher Shymkent” LLP faithfully performs this responsible work every day. However, their work will not yield full results without the support of residents. If every resident, starting with themselves, pays attention to cleanliness, our city will become even more beautiful. Leaving a clean, comfortable, and beautiful city for future generations is our main duty.
The Shymkent Zoo team took an active part in the national environmental campaign "Clean Kazakhstan" 13.09.2025
On September 13, 2025, the Shymkent Zoo staff actively participated in the national environmental campaign "Clean Kazakhstan," which included a large-scale cleanup day. This initiative was a significant event not only for the zoo itself but also for the city as a whole, as the campaign's main goal is to preserve nature, instill a caring attitude toward the environment in the younger generation, and create a comfortable environment for both people and animals. The "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign is held annually in all regions of the country, attracting more and more participants each year. It aims to promote environmental protection, greening, waste removal, and foster environmental awareness among the population. A zoo is more than just a place where animals are kept. It is a unique symbol of nature and wildlife conservation, as well as an educational platform where children and adults learn about nature and learn to care for it. Therefore, the team's participation in environmental cleanups is of great educational value and serves as a role model for the entire community. The cleanup took place on the zoo grounds and in adjacent areas. The work included: cleaning up garbage along roads and pedestrian paths; sanitary cleaning of places where animals are kept; maintenance of green spaces and planting of new trees and shrubs; cleaning the pond and areas adjacent to the water from plastic and household waste. It's gratifying to note that not only zoo staff but also volunteers, students, and city residents joined the effort. Such a broad range of participants demonstrated that caring for nature isn't a formality, but a conscious need that unites people of all ages and backgrounds. The organizers paid special attention to young people. Schoolchildren and students participated in the event, enthusiastically helping clean up the area, plant trees, and maintain the green spaces. For them, this was not just practical work experience, but an important lesson in caring for the future. Experienced zoo staff and environmentalists taught the children about environmental protection rules, proper waste disposal, the importance of sorting trash, and conserving water. Thus, the cleanup day also turned into a live ecology lesson. Developing an environmental outlook at a young age is crucial. Those who learn to love nature, respect animals, and care for the environment from childhood will be more responsible in their actions and choices as adults. Zoo management emphasized that nature conservation is not solely the responsibility of government agencies or individual organizations. It is the shared responsibility of every citizen. "If every person keeps their yard, street, and workplace clean, the environmental situation nationwide will improve. Government initiatives are important, but without the personal contribution of every resident, they won't yield the desired results," the organizers noted. Many of the cleanup participants shared their impressions. One of the students said: "Today we cleaned up trash and planted trees, and it gave us a sense of contributing to the future. Our contribution may be small, but if such events are regular, the country will become cleaner and more beautiful." One of the volunteers added: "Animals living in a zoo must be kept in a clean and safe environment. Their health and well-being directly depend on how we treat the grounds. Therefore, participating in the cleanup day is also an expression of concern for the animals." These words demonstrate that for many people, the event was more than just a cleanup. It was an act of civic responsibility and respect for nature. The organizers are confident that "Clean Kazakhstan" should not remain a one-time event. It should become the foundation for systematic environmental conservation efforts. The zoo plans to hold such events regularly, engaging schoolchildren, students, and city residents. The zoo also plans to hold environmental lectures, workshops, exhibitions, and competitions aimed at promoting an eco-friendly lifestyle. Initiatives like these will help raise a new generation of citizens for whom caring for nature will become the norm and part of everyday life. The cleanup event held on September 13, 2025, at the Shymkent Zoo was a shining example of how people's combined efforts can change the environment for the better. Environmental awareness, love of nature, and responsibility for cleanliness and order are not temporary goals, but a long-term strategy on which the country's future depends. If every person makes even a small contribution – picking up trash, planting a tree, keeping their yard clean – everyone will feel the results.

During the weekend, teenagers planted trees and contributed to environmental protection. Experienced ecologists and teachers explained the principles of nature conservation to them. This is not just a one-day event, but a great education that will leave a mark on the minds of the younger generation. Speaking on behalf of the zoo staff, management representatives emphasized that nature conservation is not the work of just one institution or organization. It is the shared responsibility of the entire society. "If every citizen kept their yard, street, and workplace clean, the environmental situation in our country would improve significantly. Protecting nature is not a task assigned to the state or special services, but a common duty for all of us," the organizers said.

It may seem like a small thing, but every action we take has an impact on the future. If we all treat nature with compassion, our country will be much greener and cleaner." And one of the volunteers: "Zoo animals should live in a clean and safe environment. Their well-being also depends on our work. Therefore, I think this Sabbath is also part of caring for animals ," he said. The "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign should not remain just a temporary event.

Representatives of the Shymkent Territorial Inspectorate of the Veterinary and Sanitary Supervision Service noted that in recent years, cases of products being sold without the necessary veterinary documentation have been uncovered. Such incidents not only undermine public trust but also pose a direct threat to public health. In this regard, the inspectorate intends to strengthen scheduled and unscheduled inspections, as well as conduct preventative outreach work with entrepreneurs. A separate section of discussion was devoted to the operations of slaughterhouses.

Preventive and diagnostic veterinary measures were carried out in the Badam rural district of the Enbekshinsky district on September 10, 2025. 12.09.2025
Systematic efforts to strengthen veterinary safety and prevent the spread of dangerous diseases among farm animals continue in Shymkent. The latest round of these efforts took place in the village of Badam in the Yenbekshinsky District, where specialists from the Shymkent Veterinary Service carried out a range of preventative and diagnostic procedures in strict compliance with veterinary regulations. The primary goal of these outreach activities is to prevent the spread of infectious and parasitic diseases among domestic and farm animals. Veterinarians administer necessary vaccinations, monitor the general health of livestock, identify potential disease outbreaks at early stages, and take measures to contain them. Furthermore, such events are aimed at increasing the legal and health literacy of rural residents, as many animal diseases can be transmitted to humans and cause harm not only to health but also to the regional economy. As part of the ongoing work, specialists examined cattle, sheep, and goats. The animals were given the necessary preventative vaccinations, including against anthrax, brucellosis, rabies, and other infections dangerous to animals and people. Each animal undergoes a visual examination, its condition is checked, its temperature is measured, its weight is assessed, and, if necessary, samples are taken for laboratory testing. This comprehensive approach allows for the early detection of the disease and prevents its spread. Along with medical procedures, specialists conduct interviews with residents. They explain the rules for keeping and feeding animals, and emphasize the importance of observing sanitary standards, timely vaccinations, and veterinary inspections. Residents are reminded that even in the absence of obvious signs of illness, animals require regular preventative vaccinations. Owners often underestimate the importance of such procedures, which subsequently leads to the emergence of epidemic outbreaks. Representatives of the Veterinary Service emphasized that the activities in the Badam district are part of a larger plan covering the entire Yenbekshinsky district. Similar work will be carried out in stages in other rural communities. This systematic approach ensures control over the overall epizootic situation in the region and reduces the risk of major disease outbreaks. It is planned that by the end of the year, preventative measures will cover the majority of farm animals kept on private farms in the region. For local residents, such events have significant practical significance. Agriculture remains one of the main sources of income for the population, so the health of domestic animals is directly linked to the economic well-being of families. For example, timely vaccinations against brucellosis and foot-and-mouth disease help maintain livestock productivity and prevent mass deaths. This, in turn, means preserving dairy and meat products, which form the basis of rural residents' diets and incomes. These events were made possible thanks to government support and the coordinated work of veterinary specialists. The government allocates vaccines and diagnostics from the national fund, and local services organize their effective use. Local residents note that access to preventative measures makes their work easier and reduces animal care costs. After all, if an illness occurs, treatment is significantly more expensive than timely prevention. According to specialists, the work will continue in other villages in the Yenbekshinsky District in the coming months. In addition to preventative vaccinations, plans include conducting animal censuses, strengthening monitoring of their movements, and improving the sanitary conditions of their habitats. The introduction of digital accounting technologies is also being considered in the future, which will simplify animal health monitoring and promptly identify problem areas. Thus, preventative work in the Badam rural district has proven highly effective and has been well received by the community. Local residents expressed gratitude to the veterinary service for their care of their animals and for the educational talks, which help increase awareness and responsibility among livestock owners. Such events serve as an important element of the country's overall biosecurity system. After all, animal health is directly linked to human health, economic stability, and food security.
Veterinary preventive and diagnostic measures were carried out in the Badam settlement of Enbekshi district on September 10. 12.09.2025
In Shymkent, veterinary activities are being carried out systematically to maintain the health of farm animals, prevent infectious diseases, and improve the well-being of the population. As an example, specialists from the Shymkent branch of the Veterinary Service MCC conducted regular preventive and diagnostic work in the Badam settlement of Enbekshy district. The main goal of the measures taken was to prevent the spread of highly dangerous infectious diseases among farm animals, to identify outbreaks of disease early, and to implement timely treatment and prevention. In addition, the main focus was on increasing the veterinary culture of livestock owners and explaining the importance of observing sanitary requirements. During the event, specialists conducted a thorough examination of cattle, sheep, goats, and other domestic animals. The animals were vaccinated with the necessary vaccines; The general condition, body temperature, and weight of the animals were monitored; If necessary, blood and other samples were taken and sent to the laboratory. First of all, special vaccinations were carried out to protect animals from dangerous diseases such as anthrax, brucellosis, rabies, and foot-and-mouth disease. These vaccinations are the most effective means of preventing diseases that are widespread in agriculture and also pose a threat to human health. Veterinary specialists not only vaccinated, but also conducted extensive educational work with villagers. The hygienic requirements for animal care were explained; It was stated that special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of livestock pens; The benefits of timely vaccination and veterinary examinations of animals were outlined. Experts say that in many cases, livestock owners ignore the first signs of the disease and seek help only when their animals are in serious condition. This situation leads to the spread of the disease and increased losses. Therefore, preventive measures are the best solution. For residents of Enbekshy district, livestock farming is the main source of livelihood. Not only milk and meat products, but also the income from it is an important part of the family economy. Therefore, maintaining the health of animals has a direct impact on the social situation of the villagers. For example, if a dangerous disease such as brucellosis is detected in a household, the entire livestock will have to be destroyed. This will lead to huge material losses. However, timely vaccination can prevent such a disaster. The effective implementation of these measures is supported by the state. Vaccines are allocated from the republican budget, and local veterinary service specialists ensure their correct and timely use. Local residents noted that these works are carried out free of charge and expressed their gratitude for the professional work of specialists, since timely preventive measures reduce subsequent losses several times. These measures, which began in the village of Badam, will be gradually extended to other villages and small settlements of the Enbekshy district in the future. All farm animals are counted; Control over the movement and sale of animals will be strengthened; Additional measures will be taken to improve sanitary conditions. In addition, in the future, it is planned to digitize the process of registering and monitoring the health of livestock. This will allow for accurate monitoring of the condition of each animal, timely vaccination, and rapid containment of the spread of the disease. The veterinary events held in the Badam settlement received great support from the villagers. Residents highly appreciated the professional assistance provided by specialists to the animals and supplemented their knowledge through educational activities. These measures will not only improve animal health, but also improve the quality of life of the population as a whole. After all, a strong agriculture is the key to a stable economy and food security. Thus, the veterinary preventive and diagnostic measures being implemented in the Enbekshy district are important not only for one district, but for the entire city population. As a result of these works, the agriculture of Shymkent city will develop steadily, and the health and well-being of the population will improve.
In Shymkent, the results of veterinary preventive measures for the first 8 months of 2025 were summarized. 12.09.2025
On September 12, 2025, a final meeting was held in Shymkent, chaired by A. Pardebekuly, Head of the Territorial Inspectorate of the Committee for Veterinary Control and Kadagalau of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the city of Shymkent. The meeting reviewed the progress of the plan for the prevention and diagnosis of especially dangerous animal diseases, as well as the implementation of enzootic measures for the first eight months of this year. The meeting was attended by the head of the veterinary department of the Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine of the city of Shymkent, E. Adenov, chief specialist of the department, N. Ospanova, deputy director of the State Enterprise "Veterinary Service" E. Akhmetov, senior veterinarian B. Kurakbay, as well as heads of veterinary stations. Several key areas were put on the agenda: Implementation of the annual plan of preventive and diagnostic measures to prevent particularly dangerous animal diseases. Control over the movement of farm animals within the city and between regions of the country. Targeted and timely use of vaccines allocated from the republican fund. Use of the drug "AusylVac-Al" - an inactivated cultural mono- and polyvalent sorbed vaccine against foot-and-mouth disease in ruminants. The speakers noted that, from January to August 2025, veterinary services in Shymkent carried out a significant amount of work to prevent the spread of diseases that pose a threat to both livestock production and public health. Preventive vaccinations against brucellosis, anthrax, rabies, pasteurellosis, and other dangerous infections were administered. Particular attention was paid to diagnostic testing aimed at the timely detection of diseases and the elimination of potential sources of infection. One of the key issues remains the regulation and control of the movement of livestock within and outside the city. It has been noted that uncontrolled livestock movement can lead to the rapid spread of dangerous infections, including foot-and-mouth disease. In this regard, the inspection agency has stepped up its efforts to verify veterinary accompanying documents and conducts regular raids in conjunction with local executive authorities and law enforcement agencies. During the meeting, the rational use of vaccines provided from the republican reserve was discussed in detail. According to specialists, all vaccines were distributed and used in accordance with established standards. The use of the AusylVac-Al vaccine was a key focus of discussion. This vaccine, developed by Russian scientists, has proven highly effective in preventing foot-and-mouth disease in cattle and small ruminants. It is available in both monovalent and polyvalent forms, allowing animals to develop robust immunity against various virus strains. Head of the Veterinary Department E. Adenov emphasized that despite the results achieved, challenges remain to improve the quality of preventive measures at the local level. Specifically, this includes upgrading the qualifications of specialists and ensuring sufficient diagnostic materials and laboratory equipment. The department's chief specialist, N. Ospanova, emphasized the need for public awareness campaigns. She noted that many livestock owners still do not pay due attention to routine vaccinations, which could complicate the overall epizootic situation. Deputy Director of the Veterinary Service, E. Akhmetov, presented a detailed report on the work completed by the departments. He noted that all veterinary stations have actively participated in the implementation of these measures, but that increased monitoring of vaccination schedules is needed. Senior veterinarian B. Kurakbay added that, in addition to vaccination, it is essential to strictly adhere to sanitary standards when keeping animals, as unsanitary conditions often cause outbreaks of disease. Following the meeting, specific recommendations were developed: continue monitoring the epizootic situation in the city; strengthen cooperation between veterinary services and local authorities; more actively involve the population in preventive measures through educational work; ensure timely updating of the material and technical base of veterinary stations; Strengthen control over the movement of animals and the quality of accompanying documents. In his closing remarks, A. Pardebekuly, head of the territorial inspectorate, noted that the successful development of the livestock industry directly depends on the coordinated work of veterinary services and the responsible attitude of farmers and business owners toward preventive measures. He emphasized that only through joint efforts can we guarantee the country's biological security and the stable development of the agricultural sector. The final meeting demonstrated that, overall, the eight-month action plan had been implemented at a high level. The identified issues and recommendations will serve as the basis for further improvement. Meeting participants expressed confidence that consistent implementation of the set objectives will not only preserve epizootic safety in Shymkent but also increase public confidence in the work of state veterinary authorities.
Measures to prevent animal diseases were discussed in Shymkent 12.09.2025
On September 12, 2025, an important meeting was held under the chairmanship of A. Pardebekuly, Head of the Territorial Inspection of the Veterinary Control and Supervision Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the city of Shymkent. At this meeting, the progress of veterinary activities carried out in the period from January to August 2025 was reviewed. The meeting was attended by the head of the Veterinary Department of the Shymkent Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine E. Adenov, the chief specialist of the department N. Ospanova, the deputy director of the Veterinary Service MCC E. Akhmetov, senior veterinarian B. Kurakbay, as well as the heads of veterinary posts in the city. During the meeting, the "Plan for the Prevention and Diagnosis of Highly Dangerous Animal Diseases and Enzootic Measures" was discussed. This plan is one of the most important documents in the agricultural sector of the country. Its main goal is to prevent the spread of diseases among animals, ensure the safety of agricultural products, and prevent potential risks to public health. In his speech, the head of the inspection, A. Pardebekuly, noted that since the beginning of the year, planned activities have been systematically carried out in the city. He especially emphasized the significant results achieved in the prevention of highly dangerous animal diseases. One of the main topics of the meeting was the proper use of vaccines allocated from the republican property. According to veterinary service specialists, the volume of vaccines delivered to the city since the beginning of the year has been fully utilized, covering the planned livestock population. Among them, special attention was paid to the vaccine "AusylVac-Al". This is an inactivated culture mono- and polyvalent sorbed vaccine against foot-and-mouth disease in ruminants. According to the participants, this vaccine demonstrates high efficiency in protecting animals from a dangerous disease. Its correct and timely use is an important step in the sustainable development of livestock farming. During the meeting, issues of controlling livestock movement within the republic and the city were also discussed. It is known that there is a high risk of spreading various diseases when livestock is transported from one region to another. Therefore, the work in this area is strictly controlled by the veterinary inspection. Representatives of the inspection said that they are strengthening measures to prevent illegal livestock transportation. Each head of livestock is required to be accompanied by veterinary documents, and compliance with this requirement is checked by local veterinary posts. During the meeting, participants presented their proposals. Representatives of the Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine noted the need for systematic explanatory work with livestock owners in rural areas, as some citizens do not fully understand the importance of preventive measures. Specialists of the Veterinary Service MCC raised the issue of staff training. In their opinion, regular seminars and trainings for veterinarians will help improve professional skills. The station managers, on the other hand, noted the lack of modern equipment in rural areas and raised the issue of strengthening the material and technical base. Summing up the meeting, A. Pardebekuly positively assessed the work done and set specific tasks for the coming period. First of all, he instructed to fully and timely implement vaccination measures, strictly control livestock movements, and strengthen explanatory work with the population. In addition, the head of the inspection noted the high professional responsibility of veterinary workers: "Only when every specialist faithfully fulfills their duties can we prevent animal diseases and achieve safe and sustainable development of agriculture," he said. This meeting is of great importance not only for the city of Shymkent, but also for the veterinary security of the country as a whole. Because the spread of animal diseases can not only cause significant damage to agriculture, but also pose a threat to human health. Therefore, preventive and diagnostic measures should always be a priority. In general, the work carried out in the first eight months of 2025 yielded positive results. In the coming period, joint work of veterinary services at all levels will continue to ensure the full implementation of planned activities.
