The article discusses issues of forest preservation and environmental safety in Kazakhstan. The authors conduct a comparative analysis of forest cover across regions of Kazakhstan, revealing its low percentage in the Western regions and high in the eastern and southern regions. The article highlights both man-made and natural risks to the forest fund of Kazakhstan. The authors argue that fires, caused by both human activities and natural factors, pose a particular danger to Kazakhstan. Analysis indicates that the dynamics of fires have been intensifying since 2018, which naturally disrupts the structure of the area’s biocenosis. Based on the results of the study, conclusions were drawn and recommendations were made for the conservation of biological diversity.
