Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article presents a scientific and spatial approach to the conservation of rare species in the North Kazakhstan region. The study is aimed at systematizing data on rare and endangered species of flora and fauna in the region, as well as a comprehensive analysis of anthropogenic and natural threats affecting their numbers and range. In the course of the work, a review of literary sources, regulatory documents, and existing conservation initiatives was conducted, which made it possible to identify species identified as priorities for conservation. An interactive database has been developed containing information on the biological characteristics of species, their conservation status, species distribution in the region, main threat factors, and conservation measures. Particular attention is paid to data visualization: users can view a map of the habitat and distribution of species in the region and track changes in distribution patterns. The examples include the White-tailed eagle, Pine marten and Lilium martagon, which are endangered. To assess the spatial distribution of species, the methods of geoinformation analysis and comparative research were used, which made it possible to clarify the distribution boundaries of the studied species. The results of the study have high practical significance: they can be used in the development of regional environmental protection strategies, zoning of protected natural areas, as well as in educational activities. The interactive database is a tool for monitoring biodiversity and making informed decisions in the field of environmental protection at the regional level.
