On June 20, 2024, teachers of the UNESCO Department for Sustainable Development organized an event on weeding young fir trees dedicated to the International Day of Environmental Protection within the framework of SDG 15 "Conservation of Terrestrial Ecosystems" in the nursery of the Kaskelen Gorge of the Ile-Alatau National Park.

The purpose of the event is to attract public attention to the preservation of the diversity of species of the Ile–Alatau National Park and the formation of ecological culture.

The Kaskelen Gorge in the Ile-Alatau National Park is located in the west of the city of Almaty. In order to preserve biological diversity, spruce trees will be planted in the gorge.
