Coordinates: 42.857969, 75.107084 The extraction of inert materials such as clay, sand, and gravel in the mountains causes serious environmental and social problems. These natural resources are widely used in construction, cement production, brick-making, and other industrial materials; however, their extraction leads to the destruction of mountainous landscapes, disruption of ecosystems, and deterioration of environmental quality. In mountains, where ecosystems are particularly fragile and

Coordinates: 42.862816, 75.104347 Illegal dumps of solid household waste (SHW) represent one of the main threats to the environment, particularly in terms of soil and groundwater contamination. Since such dumps are not properly managed, the waste stored in them undergoes uncontrolled decomposition, releasing toxic substances into the environment. As a result, both surface and deep layers of soil, as well as aquifers, become contaminated, which can have long-term negative consequences for

Coordinates: 42.694493, 75.163551 Unreclaimed industrial zones pose a serious threat to both ecology and human health. These areas, left after the completion of industrial activities, often contain contaminated soils, remnants of hazardous substances, and destroyed infrastructures, making them ecological "hot spots."

Coordinates: 42.852012, 75.236655 Massive deforestation, marshland formation, and the extermination of red-listed birds and animals have all resulted from the emergence of dozens of fish farms right within the territory of the only large forest in the Chuy region of Kyrgyzstan.

Coordinates: 42.847909, 75.233300 Malfunctioning or non-operational wastewater treatment facilities pose a serious threat to both humans and the surrounding environment. These systems are designed to remove pollutants from wastewater and prevent them from entering water bodies, soil, and the atmosphere. However, when they fail or operate poorly, the consequences can be catastrophic.
