BAKU, Azerbaijan, September
22. A coastal cleanup campaign was organized at a
public beach in the Bilgah settlement at the initiative of Leyla
Aliyeva, Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, founder
and head of IDEA Public Union.
Over 150 volunteers participated in IDEA's "Keep the coasts
clean!" campaign to mark World Cleanup Day and the end of the beach
season. All waste, amounting to more than 2 tons, collected by the
participants of the action, which were equipped with the necessary
sanitary equipment during the cleaning were delivered to the
Balakhani solid household waste sorting plant of “Tamiz Sheher”
OJSC.
The main objective of the initiative is to promote compliance
with cleanliness on the sea coasts, prevent pollution of coastal
areas with household waste, and attract people to efforts to
protect the marine environment.
To protect the unique biodiversity of the Caspian Sea and other
water bodies of the Caucasus region, IDEA organizes regular
measures aimed at cleaning and restoring polluted coastal
areas.
The Public Union continues to call on citizens to support nature
conservation efforts and keep shorelines clean, helping build a
healthier, cleaner, and more sustainable future for generations to
come.
