Data confidence 70 medium
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 ecotourism development in Central Kazakhstan, especially in the Karkaraly region is relevant, because the geosystems of Karkaraly lowlands have a diverse landscape and numerous attractions. The purpose of this work is to popularize the eco-route described in the article, as well as to provide recommendations and suggestions for the ecotourism development in Central Kazakhstan on the example of the Karkaraly Mountains geosystem. Research methods are field, descriptive, cartographic. The optimal route was identified on the basis of stock materials and also as a result of expedition research, and a map of the two-day eco-route was developed. Conclusions are made about the prospects of ecotourism development in the Karkaraly lowlands geosystems.
