On August 15, another clean-up was organized in Shymkent as part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" environmental campaign, initiated by the "AMANAT" party and supported by the Al-Farabi district akim's office. This time, the clean-up work took place on the banks of the Koshkar Ata River, one of the historical and special places in the city.

The Koshkar Ata River is a natural feature that is like the heart of Shymkent. It has long been closely connected with the lives of the city's residents. The cleanliness of the river directly affects not only the environment, but also the general sanitary situation in the city, air quality and the health of the population. Therefore, it is no coincidence that Shabbat is held here.

The participants emptied the trash cans along the river, swept the sidewalks, and cleaned the riverbed. Plastic waste, bags, broken products, and branches were collected and removed with special equipment. According to the participants, systematic implementation of such work will allow to radically improve the ecological image of the city.

Clean-up campaigns have been organized on the Koshkar Ata River before. For example, during the Sabbilik last August, more than 150 tons of garbage were collected. At that time, the event was mainly attended by students, schoolchildren, and youth organizations. At the same time, environmental quizzes were organized for children, and the importance of nature protection was explained.

And the peculiarity of this year's Saturday is in the organizational level. The event was not limited to garbage collection, but also took on an ecological educational character. Residents were given explanations about the benefits of waste sorting, recycling, and the culture of proper disposal of household waste. This, in turn, contributes to increasing environmental literacy in society.

Everyone who participated in the Sabbath felt like an important part of nature conservation. Both officials and ordinary citizens worked together. This is a clear demonstration of unity in society.

Of particular note is the activity of young people. University and college students worked actively, setting an example for adults. They understand very well that protecting the environment is the key to the future. Many young participants commented that "this Sabbath taught us to be responsible for the environment."

Nature protection is not limited to the Sabbath. It should become a daily culture and way of life. The organizers often reminded that the cleanliness of the riverbank is the responsibility of every resident, not just municipal services.

The cleanliness of the Koshkar Ata River also affects the tourist potential of Shymkent. Visitors to the city first visit natural places. And the clean, picturesque riverbank reflects the love of Shymkent residents for nature.

As a result of the campaign, the riverbank has changed significantly: the footpaths have been cleared, branches have been cut, and special containers have been installed. But the greatest achievement is the formation of a culture of nature conservation in people's minds.

The organizers said that they will continue such events systematically. That is, the Saturdays should not be just a one-day event, but a long-term environmental movement. If every city resident contributes to this initiative, Shymkent will undoubtedly become a clean and comfortable metropolis.

The Sabbilik, which took place on August 15, is not just a cleanliness event, but also a demonstration of the unity and responsibility of society. As experience from previous years has shown, such events not only improve the ecological condition of the city, but also improve the culture of its residents.

Cleaning the banks of the Koshkar Ata River is a real example of protecting nature and leaving a legacy for future generations. Clean nature is the guarantee of a bright future.
