Residents of Karaganda actively supported the nationwide tree-planting Saturday as part of the «Taza Kazakhstan» program.
Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev initiated the large-scale environmental campaign and addressed the participants.
On this day, the Ethnopark named after the 10th anniversary of Kazakhstan's independence in Karaganda became the main greening site.
About five thousand people gathered here — activists, youth, volunteers, and concerned residents.
They planted one and a half thousand seedlings of pine, birch, and poplar.
Akim of the region Yermaganbet Bulekpaev thanked the participants for their care for their native land and contribution to creating a comfortable green urban environment.
– On the initiative of the President of the country, the national project «Taza Kazakhstan» was launched two years ago. Residents of the region are actively participating: planting trees, collecting garbage, tidying up yards. Business representatives also did not stand aside — enterprise teams supported this initiative. We will all continue working together in the future. In total, about 60 thousand trees are planned to be planted in the region this year. Each seedling requires proper care, and the recommendations of specialists are very important here, – said Yermaganbet Bulekpaev.
A large role in shaping environmental culture is assigned to young people.
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted this once again in his address.
Sultan Shaimaganbet, head of the republican headquarters «Zhasyl El» in the Karaganda region, is confident that participation in every environmental campaign does not go unnoticed.
– Today many young people gathered here. «Taza Kazakhstan» is a very important ideological initiative. By planting a tree, young people think about its further care and growth. This encourages them to learn more about plants, master proper planting and growing methods, – said the leader of the green movement.
In the ethnopark, 200 serviceberry seedlings brought from the Karkaraly National Park were also planted.
Through this initiative, employees showed that «Taza Kazakhstan» resonates with the international environmental campaign «March of Parks».
