Coordinates: 42.789289, 74.572583 Mount Boz-Boltok, from Kyrgyz, means "gray elevation," is located ten kilometers from Bishkek.

Destruction of Floodplain Forests. Boom Gorge

Coordinates: 42.506805, 75.831476 The mountain forests of the Tien Shan have a significant impact on the water supply of transboundary rivers. Growing on the slopes of mountains and river floodplains, they influence the formation of air masses in the lower layers of the atmosphere, humidity, air and soil temperature, wind patterns, precipitation accumulation, and its distribution across the territory, creating what is known as a mesoclimate. The forests help prevent mudflows, hinder the

Landfill

Illegal dump south of the village of Shoro-Bashat.

Coordinates: 40.833087, 73.267735 Landfills are one of the significant factors of pollution that negatively impact natural components: the atmosphere, water sources, soil, and plant and animal life. By being placed directly on the soil surface, landfills remove a substantial portion of land from agricultural use and the biosphere, introducing pollutants into them.

Water Pollution

Pollution of the Jiyde-Bulak Spring

Coordinates: 40.851615, 73.256842 Any unauthorized dump is not only very unaesthetic but also dangerous. Each such pile is a kind of chemical laboratory, producing harmful toxins and spreading contaminated substances around it. Atmospheric precipitation, passing through piles of garbage like a filter, enters the soil and then into underground waters, rivers, and lakes, altering their chemical and physical composition. An unauthorized dump, like a legal one, is a real breeding ground for
