Among the participants were students from Astana International University (AIU) majoring in environmental studies. Under the guidance of Aiman ​​Karabalaeva, a PhD professor and ecologist, they actively participated in cleaning up the area and sorting waste.

«We often participate in similar environmental campaigns: cleanups and forest planting. Today, together with the students, we took the initiative to contribute to improving the environment. The students came on their own initiative to contribute to nature conservation and to remind everyone of the importance of caring for the environment,»- emphasized Aiman ​​Karabalaeva.

Aidana Salamatovna Kydyrova, a lecturer at Astana International University, environmental activist, and 321start project curator, participated in the cleanup. During the event, 187 kilograms of plastic were collected and sent for recycling.
