More than 7 million Kazakh citizens have taken part in events under the Taza Qazaqstan Presidential initiative since the beginning of this year. This is one million more than in the whole of last year. The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources noted that since the programme was launched, more than 7 million trees have been planted in settlements across the country, along with over one billion saplings on state forest fund lands. The TazaQazBot Telegram bot is also in operation to address local improvement and landscaping issues promptly. More than 57,000 requests have already been processed through the bot. According to the ministry, the initiative’s main goal is to foster a caring attitude toward the environment and make environmental responsibility part of Kazakh citizens’ everyday lives. Particular attention is therefore being paid to environmental education for young people.
«More than 1,000 cultural events have been held. The Zhasyl Balabaksha programme has also been introduced in 265 preschool educational institutions, helping the younger generation develop greater environmental awareness. In addition, more than 560,000 classroom sessions have been held in secondary schools,» said Kazakh Vice Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Mansur Oshurbayev.
