“…When animals that live in mountains move north, they are able to locate environments that are ideal for them. Loss of topography and range, however, may imprison migratory species in restricted and unsuitable habitats (Jones et al, 2022). For instance, one study found that the American pika has been wiped out or severely reduced in some areas, with climate change being the primary cause of its demise (Palita, 2016).…”

Climate change causes long-term weather changes from the tropics to the polls. It is a global threat that strains several sectors. The present study conducts a review analysis that theoretically explores how climatic variability is degrading global sector sustainability. Due to irreversible weather variations, the agricultural sector is particularly vulnerable. In turn, it is disrupting worldwide consumption patterns, especially in countries where agriculture is central to their economy and productivity. Due to shifting optimum temperature ranges, climate change is also increasing biodiversity loss through modifying ecosystem architecture. Climate change increases the risk of food, water, and vector-borne diseases. Antimicrobial resistance, which is developing due to resistant pathogenic infections, is also accelerated by climate change. Climate change also hurts the forestry sector and tourism business. This review examines global socio-economic and environmental climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies and their economic consequences. According to the findings, knotted answerability of resources and laws created in the past to generate progressive climate policy need government involvement for long-term development. Thus, addressing climate change's dire consequences demands global cooperation to maintain world survival.

“…Northern Kazakhstan can be singled out, there is a powerful Central Asian migration route. Every year millions of birds visit this territory during spring and autumn migrations (Yerokhov, 2013;Cresswell et al, 1999;Zuban et al, 2020;Jones et al, 2022;Kamp et al, 2015). At the same time, the development of ornithological tourism in the northern regions of Kazakhstan is hindered by the weak study of promising territories for the organization of ornithological tourism.…”

To assess the potential of the allocated Important Bird Areas (IBA) of the North Kazakhstan region for the development of ecological tourism in the region. The work uses the materials of field research of domestic and international ornithological expeditions, cartographic method, statistical and mathematical processing of the data obtained. The territory of the North Kazakhstan region is of interest for the development of ornithological tourism. This is facilitated by the natural resource potential of the allocated promising IBA. The borders of these territories coincide with lake ecosystems located in the forest-steppe and steppe zones of the region. The selected ornithological areas are confined to lake ecosystems that are on the way of migrations and nesting of birds. IBA are characterized by floristic and faunal diversity, insignificant human development. The habitation of rare and endangered species has been noted. The presence of roads ensures accessibility to the studied territories of tourists and wildlife lovers from Kazakhstan, near and far abroad. The allocated territories may be used not only for ornithological, but also for recreational and educational tourism, as well as amateur fishing. The results of the resource potential assessment confirm the prospects for the development of ornithological tourism in the territory of the North Kazakhstan region in the implementation of environmental measures aimed at preserving the uniqueness of ecosystems. The selected IBA have significant natural resource potential and uniqueness. Key territories associated with lake ecosystems can serve for the development of ornithological and recreational tourism. The comprehensive assessment made it possible to identify the weighting coefficient of the studied properties of the territories. This confirms the fact about the prospects of their use as unique natural objects for scientific research, amateur fishing, various types of tourism on the territory of the North Kazakhstan region.

1. Migratory species are protected under international legislation; their seasonal movements across international borders may therefore present opportunities for understanding how global conservation policies translate to local-level actions across different socio-ecological contexts. Moreover, local-level management of migratory species can reveal how culture and governance affects progress towards achieving global targets. Here, we investigate potential misalignment in the two-way relationship between global-level conservation policies (i.e. hunting bans and quotas) and local-level norms, values and actions (i.e. legal and illegal hunting) in the context of waterfowl hunting in northern Kazakhstan as a case-study. 2. Northern Kazakhstan is globally important for waterfowl and a key staging area for arctic-breeding species. Hunting is managed through licences, quotas and seasonal bans under UN-AEWA intergovernmental agreements. To better understand the local socio-ecological context of waterfowl hunting, we take a mixed-methods approach using socio-ecological surveys, informal discussions and population modelling of a focal migratory goose species to: (a) investigate motivations for hunting in relation to socio-economic factors; (b) assess knowledge of species' protection status; and (c) predict the population size of Lesser White-fronted Geese (LWfG; Anser erythropus; IUCN Vulnerable) under different scenarios of survival rates and hunting offtake, to understand how goose population demographics interact with the local socio-ecological context.3. Model results showed no evidence that waterfowl hunting is motivated by financial gain; social and cultural importance were stronger factors. The majority of hunters are knowledgeable about species' protection status; however, 11% did not know LWfG are protected, highlighting a key area for increased stakeholder engagement.
