Tree-planting campaign
The Heydar Aliyev Foundation, headed by First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva, pays special attention to projects implemented at the state level to improve the environmental situation in Azerbaijan. There is a significant budget from the Fund for planting new green areas and protecting existing ones. Leyla Aliyeva, Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, Founder and Head of the IDEA Public Union plays an important role in improving the environmental situation and planting new greenery. In this regard, the Foundation's ‘Unite for Nature, Unite for Life!’ project is of special importance.
WCU Student Youth Organisation (SYO) took part in a tree planting campaign of ‘Unite for nature, unite for life!’ on November 11th, 2019 in the new ‘Ganjlik’ park built by the Foundation in the Khatai district of Baku. The action was organised to increase social activity for volunteers of the SYO as well as to address environmental concerns to improve quality of life across our society.
A total of 100 people, including 60 volunteers, took part in the tree planting campaign of ‘Unite for nature, unite for life!’ The activity resulted in planting 30,000 trees. The implementation of this event led to an increase in the social activity of WCU volunteer students, as well as being an important step towards inheriting a clean and safe environment for future generations.
