The International Dialogue for Environmental Action (IDEA) Public Union and Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources co-organized Monday a traditional cleanup campaign along the Kura riverbank, on the section of the river flowing through the Neftachala district.
A total of 30 young volunteers, as well as members of the public joined the campaign.
About half a ton of waste was collected and transferred to a landfill in Neftchala district.
The primary goal of the initiative is to clean the Caspian Sea and other water bodies of materials that obstruct fish development and to prevent pollution and littering of the Kura River banks.
The campaign also aims to raise public awareness about the importance of maintaining cleanliness in coastal areas and the impact of discarded waste on the river and the Caspian Sea's fauna.
