The national action "All-Kazakhstan Day of Forest Planting” this year started around the country on April 20. The "Green Relay” was announced five years ago on the initiative of the Earth Foundation "Sustainable Development”. This is still a young ecological holiday in an independent state.
Welcoming speech to the audience is drawn by Mels Eleusizov, head of the Tabigat environmental union.
But the organizers hope that it will gain popular popularity, and with time every citizen of the country will have his own planted tree and grow "his own forests”.
The main purpose of the event is to promote among Kazakhstanis a careful attitude to nature, the preservation and restoration of forests, as well as the joint gardening of the area around cities and towns. Every year in spring and autumn there are more and more people in our country who plant trees, memorable avenues and forests at the call of their hearts.
This is a good tradition that unites all these people in their desire to save and multiply the most valuable treasure - the unique nature of the Earth. Promotions such as "Forest Day” all over the world today are being raised to the level of national holidays and events that unite people all over the planet. The help and participation of everyone increase the chances of preserving the treasure of humanity - the unique ecosystem of our planet.
