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.

The authors also discuss the role of civil society and international organizations in the struggle for environmental protection in Kazakhstan. In conclusion, the authors emphasize that environmental issues should be included in the political dialogue in Kazakhstan to ensure the sustainability and conservation of natural resources for the benefit of future generations of the country.
