Coordinates: 40.353807, 72.942418 On the Ak-Buura River. Illegal extraction is taking place at the Papan Reservoir, where local residents use sand and gravel material for their construction or private homes. Unfortunately, there is no perfect methodology to accurately calculate the damage caused to the environment by illegal extraction. However, this does not mean that the damage is insignificant, as the extraction of gravel-sand mixtures in the river disrupts the riverbed, creates pits, and

The landscape is worse than on the Moon, the air is literally saturated with coal dust, leaving a dark residue everywhere—these are the accompanying "charms" of coal mining activities in Kyrgyzstan. Currently, coal mining in the mining industry of Kyrgyzstan is associated with environmental degradation.

40°15’6877″N 72°22’6151″E The damage to soils from the barbaric extraction of construction materials, sand, and shell rock has reached alarming proportions in Kyrgyzstan. Raw materials for construction are often the target of illegal extraction, both by "black geologists" and licensed companies. To grasp the scale of illegal and semi-legal development of deposits, such as that of saw limestone, one does not need to look far. It is enough to open any image of Kyrgyzstan on Google Maps,

Despite the fact that many countries have recently begun to abandon coal in favor of alternative energy sources, thus provoking a decrease in demand and devaluation of this type of fuel, local authorities still consider coal a
