Environmentally focused initiatives carried out under the slogan “Green Legacy” continue uninterrupted at the Chyngyz Aitmatov Campus of Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University. In line with the University’s vision for environmental protection and afforestation, a comprehensive environmental clean-up activity was organized at the Phase II Turkic World Botanical Garden.
The event was attended by the KTMU Rector Prof. Dr. Alpaslan Ceylan, Vice-Rector Prof. Dr. İsmet Altıntaş, and Secretary-General Dr. Fatih Ramazan İstanbullugil, along with staff from the Directorate of Student Dormitories, university personnel, and a large number of students. Conducted on a voluntary basis, the activity involved the careful collection of stones across the botanical garden area, contributing to landscaping improvements. These efforts not only enhanced the garden’s cleanliness and overall appearance, but also supported the promotion of a sustainable environmental awareness across the campus.
