From 20:30 to 21:30, the Earth Hour International Environmental Action took place to draw attention to the need for a responsible attitude to nature and the resources of the planet. This year, Earth Hour in Kazakhstan is dedicated to the theme of nature conservation in the country.
Bird Paradise at “Prorva”
The pond at the Prorva Waste Management Facility (WMF) of West Dala was created for the purpose of managing domestic wastewater and maintaining ecological balance. However, for the local flora and fauna, the pond has become a true natural oasis. Gulls and other birds have long taken to nesting here during the warm season, hatching their offspring.
Islam Sagynbayev, an ecologist at the Prorva WMF: This year, several bird species have nested here. Additionally, a wild duck has settled on the facility’s grounds. These observations indicate that our activities do not negatively impact the area’s biodiversity and contribute to creating a comfortable environment for wildlife.
Ecologists at the Prorva and Tengiz facilities are actively engaged in monitoring environmental changes. They regularly analyze water and soil quality, assess the impact of various processes on the ecosystem, and develop measures to minimize potential negative effects. An important part of their work is developing and implementing programs for the conservation and restoration of natural resources.
