Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in Kharkiv, in the KhTZ area, activists began to clear the Mokryi Zhikhor ravine from garbage that had been accumulating there for decades. People want to turn the abandoned river and its slopes into a "paradise corner" and have already collected about 200 bags of various waste.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, Ukrainian eco-activists on Saturday-Sunday September 16-17 will hold a clean-up march, that is, they will simultaneously clean 5 protected areas of garbage accumulated due to human negligence and Russian ecocide.
