Clean Kazakhstan Campaign Shows Short Film on Rare Plants to Children
The "Taza Qazaqstan" (Clean Kazakhstan) campaign, a significant environmental initiative in Kazakhstan, recently took an educational turn as it held an event at Mass Library No. 12 in Astana. The event, dedicated to plants included in the Red Book, aimed to educate children about rare flora and their importance.
The short film shown to the children highlighted the importance of caring for nature and the role each individual plays in preserving the environment. The film discussed the impact of small daily actions on the ecological state, emphasizing the significance of not littering, sorting waste, and helping animals.
Aigerm Almaganbetova, the library's director, underscored the importance of children learning about rare plants. In line with this, a book exhibition called "I Know the World" was set up, featuring literature about rare animals and plants. The children were drawn to the books in the exhibition, indicating a keen interest in learning more about the natural world.
The event took place among the bookshelves, creating an atmosphere that encourages reflection. The children also participated in an interactive part, where they solved ecological riddles and learned about animals. Katerina Tyschenko was photographed at the event by Sultan Seitov, capturing the children's enthusiasm for learning.
The library, which welcomes visitors of all ages, has a collection of literature about rare animals and plants. By hosting events like these, the library is making a valuable contribution to the Taza Qazaqstan campaign's mission of fostering a culture of environmental stewardship among the younger generation.
While the campaign itself focuses on a broad environmental agenda, education about rare plants could enhance children's understanding of the importance of biodiversity and the role they can play in environmental conservation. However, specific initiatives or programs dedicated to this aspect are not detailed in the available sources.
The event was part of the Taza Qazaqstan campaign, which emphasizes environmental protection and sustainability, and involves community activities like tree planting and clean-up events. It is a significant initiative in Kazakhstan, with nearly nine million participants[1]. However, details about its role in educating children about rare plants in Kazakhstan are not highlighted in the available information.
