On October 7, 2008, the Ecological Society Green Salvation and Crude Accountability sent a letter to the participants of the meeting of The Greens/EFA and the European Green Party (Paris, October 9-12, 2008) to bring attention to the question of observing the human right to a healthy environment in Kazakhstan.
September 28 – This year marks the 6th annual International Right to Know Day. In more than 40 countries worldwide, representatives of civil society, journalists, and human rights defenders remind citizens about their right to access to information, and about problems related to the realization of this right.
On May 9, the Ecological Society Green Salvation and Crude Accountability submitted a joint complaint to the Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO) of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to protect the rights of Berezovka residents (Burlinsky District, Western Kazakhstan Oblast).

On June 20, 2008, nongovernmental human rights organizations of Kazakhstan signed a Memorandum on joint activities to monitor the Republic of Kazakhstan’s implementation of its obligations in regards to the development of democracy, rule of law, and the observance of human rights and freedoms, in light of Kazakhstan’s forthcoming chairmanship of the OSCE.

There is no other way to describe what is going on in Kazakhstan’s specially protected natural territories. In the Ile-Alatau National Park, aside from the construction of resorts, restaurants, sports facilities and nightclubs, sanitary felling of the forests is taking place in practically all of the gorges. According to the law, this is permitted, but must be conducted in strict compliance with established rules.
That which we see in the photographs is more like the industrial preparation of timber in the vast expanses of Siberia than of sanitary felling. Is this really sanitary felling? Maybe the forest plots are being cleared for the construction of the next private restaurants and cottages? Or to make money on the sale of timber? Did the initiators of these clearings consider the environmental and social consequences? Isn’t the sanitary felling of forests being conducted too widely and uncontrollably in the national parks?
