On December 6, in the Mangystau region, within the framework of the republican program "Taza Kazakhstan", an environmental action was held, organized by the NPU "EcoMangistau". The venue was the picturesque Saura tract, located near the city of Aktau.The purpose of the campaign is to attract the attention of young people to environmental issues, foster environmental responsibility and preserve the natural resources of the Mangystau region.The event was attended by 50 students of the Caspian University of Technology and Engineering named after Sh. Yesenov, who together with the organizers were engaged in cleaning the territory of the tract, sorting garbage and contributed to the preservation of the unique nature of the region.The Saura tract, located 90 km from Aktau on the western coast of the Caspian Sea, attracts with its natural beauty, unique ecosystem and rich history. The main attraction of the tract is a lake surrounded by steep stone walls, whose permanent inhabitants are rare relict marsh turtles. There are many legends associated with Saura. According to one legend, the lake arose from the tears of an unhappy woman who committed suicide after a tragic loss. Another story tells about Beket ata, who, according to legend, flew to Saura on the "black swans of disbelief" to prove the strength of his faith. In addition, archaeological sites such as a ruined Bronze Age fortress, a necropolis and traces of the caravan site of the Great Silk Road have been preserved on the territory of the tract. Burials, artifacts and traces of ancient earthquakes have been found in the fortress, which presumably led to its destruction. Saura is a place where nature, legends and history merge into a single whole, creating a unique atmosphere that attracts tourists and researchers.According to the project manager of the NPU "EcoMangistau" Aliev Javid Zeynelabdin oglu, the Taza Kazakhstan program is an important step towards the development of ecological culture among the population:— Today we see that the participation of young people in environmental actions is not just cleaning of territories, but a conscious contribution to the future of our nature. Each of us can become a part of a great cause — the preservation of the environment. We invite everyone to join the campaign anywhere in the city. Your participation will be an important step towards creating a clean and environmentally safe Kazakhstan.Also, in the Mangystau region, the Ecolider club initiated the Karakol Sakhshylary project within the framework of the small grants program of the Department for Youth Policy of the Mangystau region. The aim of the project was to study the ornithological biodiversity of Lake Karakol, conduct an express assessment of the ecosystem and analyze the habitat of birds.The project was attended by pupils of the regional family-type orphanage, students of the boarding school for gifted children, students of biological and environmental specialties of the Sh. Yesenov University, as well as students of the regional college of Tourism. A volunteer corps of 135 people was formed as part of the project. The participants observed a population of about 15,000 grebes, 10,000 sibilant swans, as well as flamingos, herons, marsh holes, ducks and seagulls.The collected data and completed sketches became the basis for new scientific projects of schoolchildren and students. So, two students from the Mangystau region prepared research on the problems of Lake Karakol and became the winners of the regional stage of the republican competition of scientific projects.The head of the volunteer club "Ecolider" and a member of the regional environmental council of the association "Ecojer" Bakhytgul Omirkhankyzy stressed the importance of such initiatives:— Last year, in the Mangystau region, we initiated independent studies of the causes of the mass death of more than 1,200 swans and about 2,000 Caspian seals. To prevent such environmental disasters, it is necessary to increase the level of environmental literacy of the population.The Ecolider Club actively participates in the actions of the Taza Kazakhstan program, is engaged in sorting, collecting and processing solid household waste. In addition, we conduct career guidance work with school students, helping them choose professions related to the study and protection of nature, — said Bakhytgul Omirkhankyzy.It is worth noting that in 2024, the environmental program "Taza Kazakhstan", implemented on behalf of the Head of State, significantly expanded the scale of traditional clean-up days, giving them a new format. Within the framework of the eco-week, more than 168 thousand people took part in clean-up, 1738 pieces of equipment were involved, 27,462 tons of garbage were removed. Also this year, 69 unauthorized landfills were identified in the Mangystau region, of which 44 have been eliminated to date.
