The Culture of Natural Resource Management in Kyrgyzstan

The Attitude of the Kyrgyz People Towards Their Land An important renewable natural resource since ancient times has been the mountainous and rugged areas with vast pastures, diverse wildlife, and birds that are objects of hunting. The use of the natural wealth of the habitat was regulated by customary legal norms based on centuries of agricultural experience and empirical knowledge. People tried to adhere to the limits of acceptable exploitation of the developed territories. The nature of

Mineral Resources and Other Resources of Kyrgyzstan

People's Experience in Using Natural Resources. The republic has reserves of fossil fuels, including coal, combustible shales, peat, gas, and oil. The large coal reserves have led to Kyrgyzstan being referred to as the "stoker" of Central Asia. Based on coal and oil deposits, worker settlements such as Kyzyl-Kiya, Suluktu, Kek-Jangak, Tash-Kemur, Kochkor-Ata, Min-Kush, Jergalan, and Kazhi-Sai emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. There are huge reserves of lignite

Seismicity

The territory of Kyrgyzstan is one of the most seismically active regions on the planet, where earthquakes of varying strength (from weak to catastrophic) have occurred, are occurring (up to 1500 tremors per year), and will continue to occur. The high seismicity is due to the activity of tectonic processes and a complex geological-tectonic situation. Information about ancient strong earthquakes that occurred in the Tienir-Tuu area is presented in the form of seismogravitational paleomorphs

Soil of the Chui Valley

The soil-vegetation cover of the Chui Valley and its mountainous framing, as the most important components, are subject to the regular altitudinal zonation of landscapes. In general terms, the altitudinal belts coincide with the tiers of relief and climatic zones. The correct determination of altitudinal belts in the mountains currently acquires particular significance, as this concept encompasses the entire range of natural phenomena, and practical measures should evidently also be

Coal

Coal deposits in the republic are grouped into 4 basins (Southern Fergana, Uzgen, Northern Fergana, Kavak) and 3 coal-bearing regions (Alaï, Alabuka-Chatyr-Kel, Southern Issyk-Kul). According to experts, coal reserves in Kyrgyzstan exceed 30 billion tons. Coal deposits are mainly concentrated in the Osh, Jalal-Abad, Issyk-Kul, and Naryn regions.

Hydrocarbon Resources

The territory of the republic has discovered deposits of coal, gas, and oil. Among them, coal deposits are the most widespread. In terms of coal reserves, Kyrgyzstan ranks among the leading positions in Central Asia. The deposits of oil, gas, black and non-ferrous metals, precious metals, and other minerals are quite competitive on a global scale.

Natural Resources of Kyrgyzstan

Mineral Resources of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan The subsoil of Kyrgyzstan is truly a gigantic "treasury" of valuable mineral resources. In the figurative expression of scientists, here "nature has hidden the entire periodic table of Mendeleev underground." By 1982, more than 5,000 deposits and manifestations of various types of minerals had been discovered and accounted for in the republic. Did you know that silver and gold, as well as ores of tin, copper, lead, mercury,
