Ecologist's Day in Kazakhstan Date in the current year: June 5, 2024

Ecologist's Day in Kazakhstan was established by Presidential Decree in 2011, when the list of professional holidays in Kazakhstan was renewed. This is not a non-working holiday.

Observance of Ecologist's Day is tightly connected to establishment of the United Nations observance World Environment Day. Since world observance annually takes place in different cities and countries, government of Kazakhstan foresaw a special day, when ecological issues would raise public awareness. Different informational and educational activities are organized.
