In the capital, on the territory of Industrial Park No. 1, a citywide clean-up day was held as part of the environmental campaign “Taza Kazakhstan.”

More than one thousand people took part in the event – employees of industrial enterprises and representatives of small and medium-sized businesses.

Deputy Head of the Department for Investments and Entrepreneurship Development, Nurzhan Ashimov, reported that participants of the clean-up day planted more than 1,000 saplings. The main emphasis was placed on hardy and environmentally efficient tree species – poplar and elm, which help improve air quality and actively absorb carbon dioxide.

According to him, their planting was agreed in advance with relevant authorities, including the Department of Natural Resources and specialists in the field of urban planning. Maintenance of the green spaces will subsequently be ensured by contracting organizations.

Nurzhan Ashimov noted the importance of such initiatives.

“Our goal is not only for people to go out and plant trees. It is about instilling an environmental culture and educating the younger generation. We want participants to come with their children – they see the example of adults and will continue such initiatives in the future,” he said.

According to the organizers, such events play a key role in fostering environmental responsibility and developing the urban environment, especially in areas with a high concentration of industrial facilities.
