"Taza Qazaqstan": KazNU Students' Environmental Quest on Lake Issyk

October 4, 2026. As part of the "Taza Qazaqstan" national environmental  initiative, 2nd- to 4th-year students from the Faculty of Geography and Environmental Management at KazNU-majoring in "Life Safety and Environmental Protection" and "Ecology"-visited Issyk Lake. The event was organized by Associate Professor N.S. Bergeneva and T.A. Bazarbayeva, Head of the UNESCO Chair on Sustainable Development. 

An environmental quest was organized for the students: participants worked in teams and answered questions about Kazakhstan’s natural heritage, water resource conservation, biodiversity, and individual environmental responsibility.

During the field visit, special attention was paid to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 15 (Life on Land).

The environmental initiative served not only as a practical activity but also as an opportunity to discuss spirituality, respect for one’s native land, and responsibility toward future generations. Treating nature with care is a vital component of environmental culture and sustainable development.

"Taza Qazaqstan" represents not only a clean natural environment but also a responsible attitude toward one's land.
