    6. Current Status of the Environment 6.1. Natural Environment 6.1.1. Desertification Kazakhstan has more deserts within its territory than any other Central Asian country, and approximately 66% of the national land is vulnerable to desertification in various degrees. Desertification is expanding under the influence of natural and artificial factors, and some people, called “environmental refugees,” are obliged to leave their settlements due to worsened living environments. In addition, the Government of RK (Republic of Kazakhstan) issued an alarm in the “Environmental Security Concept of the Republic of Kazakhstan 2004-2015” that the crisis of desertification is not only confined to Kazakhstan but could raise problems such as border-crossing emigration caused by the rise of sandstorms as well as the transfer of pollutants to distant locations driven by large air masses. (1) Major factors for desertification Desertification is taking place due to the artificial factors listed below as well as climate, topographic and other natural factors. • Accumulated industrial wastes after extraction of mineral resources and construction of roads, pipelines and other structures • Intensive grazing of livestock (overgrazing) • Lack of farming technology • Regulated runoff to rivers • Destruction of forests 1) Extraction of mineral resources Wastes accumulated after extraction of mineral resources have serious effects on the land. Exploration for oil and natural gas requires vast areas of land reaching as much as 17 million hectares for construction of transportation systems, approximately 10 million hectares of which is reportedly suffering ecosystem degradation. 2) Overgrazing Overgrazing is the abuse of pastures by increasing numbers of livestock. In the grazing lands in mountainous areas for example, the area allocated to each sheep for grazing is 0.5 hectares, compared to the typical grazing space of 2 to 4 hectares per sheep.

Country and Sector Background During the Soviet era, Kazakhstan was under extensive heavy industrial development, which focused on maximizing output with little regard for the associated environmental degradation. Environmental policies were weak and little effort was made to regulate industries and ensure that they would not pollute the environment with hazardous substances. With regard to hazardous waste storage, this is highly inadequate due to the absence of appropriate landfills as well as incentives to reduce waste generation. In some oblasts, current inappropriately stored hazardous waste at factory sites are causing contamination of ground and surface waters that may lead to significant health hazards1. Public Disclosure Authorized Currently Kazakhstan has a rapidly growing economy which until now has mainly been based on revenues from the oil & gas industry and the exploitation of its various other natural resources rich in iron, copper, zinc, uranium and other non-ferro metal ores. In the years following independence, Kazakhstan has recognized the importance of sustainable development and appropriate pollution control and made increasing efforts to address its multitude of environmental problems.

In his speech at the World Summit for Sustainable Development, the President of Kazakhstan reminded the world community of the global scale of the processes that are underway, and called for prevention of irreversible harm to the environment in order to preserve the necessary life resources for our descendants. Environmental safety and sustainable development issues are of vital importance for Kazakhstan. Water resource deficit and significant land degradation, the Aral Sea disaster, the aftermath of the nuclear tests, accumulation of industrial waste, oil spills – all these problems are no longer fall under the category of environmental ones. Many of these problems are regional and even global. Coordinated interaction between the mankind and the environment and ensuring a safe environment are one of the priorities of the long-term Kazakhstan-2030 Strategy. It has clear-cut provisions: “...increase efforts in making our citizens healthy during their life time, and enjoying a healthy environment”.

  • Geography of the Ob-Irtysh River Basin and River Shipping
    Geography of the Ob-Irtysh River Basin and River Shipping: a Curriculum Guide by Devon Lechtenberg, REEEC Introduction: The Ob-Irtysh River Basin is home to many of Russia’s largest cities outside of European Russia. Rivers were the dominant transportation arteries for people and heavy goods prior to the introduction of rail and highway infrastructure to the region. This lesson affords students the opportunity to learn the basic geography of the region as well as the importance of river transportation. Ideally, maps will be used extensively in introducing the rivers and cities of this region prior to a discussion of river transportation, which will be based around an article provided in the appendices. Goals of Curriculum for Students: The first goal of this curriculum is to familiarize students with the basic human geography of the region surrounding the Ob-Irtysh River Basin in western Siberia. Students should come away from this lesson with a general knowledge of the region’s cities, the names of the tributaries of the Ob, Irtysh, and Tobol Rivers, and the significance of this area for Russia. The second goal of this curriculum is to introduce students to the importance of river transportation in western Siberia (corresponding to the Ob-Irtysh Basin). Students will have a greater appreciation for the indispensable role played by river transportation in an environment which does not possess an extensive network of ground transportation infrastructure. Design of Lesson Plan: The instructor should first use an atlas or an online map such as Google Maps to identify the geographic features listed above and read the news articles listed below prior to the in-class lesson.
