Following is a brief summary of the lawsuits undertaken by the Ecological Society “Green Salvation“ in 2013.
Development of infrastructure for the mountain ski resort on Kok-Jailau will extremely negatively reflect on biodiversity of Ile-Alatau National Park. As a result of the site development and increasing pressure from inflow of tourists, the birds and animals will inevitably be forced out of their habitats.
On September 25-28, the 38th Meeting of the Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee reviewed measures undertaken by Kazakhstan to comply with the decision IV/9c. This decision was made by the Forth Meeting of the Parties of the Aarhus Convention which issued a warning to Kazakhstan in relation to the repeated violations of the requirements of the Convention and incompliance with the decision III/6c. Had Kazakhstan not executed the conditions stipulated in the decision IV/9c in the full extent, the warning would have come into action on May 1, 2012. But consideration of the case was delayed.

On March 28, 2013, the Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee for the forth time came to a conclusion that the Republic of Kazakhstan does not obey provisions of the Convention.
On September 25-28, the 38th Meeting of the Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee reviewed measures undertaken by Kazakhstan to comply with the decision IV/9c. This decision was made by the Forth Meeting of the Parties of the Aarhus Convention which issued a warning to Kazakhstan in relation to the repeated violations of the requirements of the Convention and incompliance with the decision III/6c.

 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?
