Club "Eсolife" was created with the aim of participating in solving the problem facing humanity - increasing the ecological culture of society through the upbringing of an ecological personality with an ecocentric type of ecological consciousness, uniting teachers and students to develop and implement ecological projects. By conducting and participating in various environmental activities, students gradually move towards this goal.

Every year students of the specialty "Ecology" and members of the "Eсolife" club take an active part in actions organized by the ecological alliance "Baitak-Bolashak". In autumn 2019, first third year students of the Department of Ecology, together with their curators, took an active part in environmental campaigns “One tree for each Kazakhstani - planting 18 million trees”.

Also, every year, members of «Eсolife» club hold a round table on the topic "Global environmental problems" with the participation of students of the "Ecology" specialty.

In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic in the 2020-2021 academic year, all events held within the club were done online. We opened the page of the ecological club "Ecolife" on the Instagram social network. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGIgf73g8MN/?igshid=eplwkgyam271

Currently, members of the club actively maintain a page on Instagram, where students  post information on the activities of the club and department. In order to improve the ecological culture among students, eco-challenges were held. In October 2020, a photo competition "Ecology of the Homeland" was held, where students from all faculties of the university took part. According to the results of the competition,  the winner was Nazymbekova Nurmadina Abzalovna, a student of the agronomic faculty, specializing in Forest Resources.
