Every resident of Almaty witnesses the environmental situation every day, in particular, observes the smog hanging over the city, especially in the winter season. This topic remains relevant day by day: the city administration is trying to solve the problem, strategies are in place, and plans have been developed to combat the ecological state of the air. Caring residents of the city are also independently trying to fight and contribute to protecting the city's ecology. This is how recently the environmental campaign “Almaty Pine Forest”, which is aimed at saving polluted air in our city, made itself felt. The initiative to create a pine forest belongs to Timur Yeleusizov, Deputy Chairman of the Tabigat Eco-Union. The organizers of this campaign plan to grow a pine park that will create the necessary microclimate, make it softer and improve the air. When planting conifers, it is taken into account that in the near future this park will have places for walking and picnics, and perhaps this pine forest will become another attraction in the city that will attract tourists.
Pine trees are planted in the Sayaly microdistrict of Alatau District (near the AutoPSC). The Tabigat Eco-Union has conducted its own research. It turned out that Almaty has four times fewer green spaces than it should be in accordance with World Health Organization standards, which has a significant impact on air quality in the city.
Eco activists invite Almaty residents to participate in the project. Those interested can help not only with planting, but also with purchasing tree seedlings. Timur and his team have big plans and goals.
Thus, on January 26, the third pine tree planting took place, and Lancaster Group employees took part in this campaign by planting several pine trees from the company. We hope that, even if it is not such a big contribution, it will have a positive impact on air purification in our city. Lancaster Group management and environmental activists have joint plans and projects ahead to save the city's ecosystem.
