Members of the "GREEN GROWTH" club from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and specialists from the Karatau State Nature Reserve held an environmental event as part of the "Taza Qazaqstan" (Clean Kazakhstan) program. The noble initiative began with clean-up activities at the Karatau State Nature Reserve.
The main goal is to support the state initiative of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which is aimed at protecting the environment, improving the ecological situation, and increasing public responsibility towards nature.
Implementing the "Taza Qazaqstan" program in the Karatau Reserve makes a significant contribution to preserving natural resources and developing an ecological culture. Through this initiative, the ability to preserve the reserve's unique nature and ecological balance is further enhanced.
Members of the "GREEN GROWTH" club and the reserve's specialists cleaned the territory of the Karatau State Nature Reserve. They focused on collecting plastic bags and clearing various types of garbage along the water channels (ditches).
It is worth noting that plastic bags are easily carried by the wind. Because of their light weight, they can be blown over long distances, causing harm to nature. These bags end up in the soil, rivers, and lakes, negatively impacting their ecosystems. Polyethylene does not decompose naturally and remains in the environment for hundreds of years.
Additionally, our students cleaned the coastal areas. The reserve was tidied up, and 30 bags of garbage were collected and removed.
Environmental initiatives like the "Taza Qazaqstan" campaign have a positive impact on nature. If the environment is clean and safe, birds can freely build their nests and multiply. This is a wonderful initiative that helps preserve the ecosystem.
