Akboken Ecoclub - B. Utalina

Batima Utalina supported the “Akboken” ecoclub in Kazakhstan, creating opportunities for young people to take part in environmental learning and activities linked to saigas and the steppe. The project used a club format that could sustain engagement over time rather than relying only on individual events.

The project supported continued youth participation in an organised environmental group and strengthened a local base for repeated saiga-focused learning and conservation activities.
