Let's secure clean banks alongside clean rivers (Involvement of the local population into activities to protect and conserve the Ili river as the main water artery of the country)
The river Ili is one of the basic water arteries of Kazakhstan. Industrial and household wastes pollution of the river, felling of the trees along the ruver coast, and other negative factors of anthropogenous impact have led to that the environmental situation in Ili-Balkhash water basin is rather a critical one, and it can lead to irreversible destruction of the environment of the region as a whole.
The project is directed on awareness raising of the local community about the problems of the river Ili pollution and changing ecological consciousness of the local population. To reach the goal a number of actions on clearing and strengthening of the coasts of the Ili rivers-inflows will be lead, Lectures with students and schoolboys and meetings with local residents will be arranged with demonstration of the films about the problem and distribution of booklets.
