Description

Environmental conditions are shaped by a complex mix of science, politics, history, and economics. Environmental Crises in Central Asia explores how past human decisions and competing priorities drive the ecological challenges facing the region today. As part of the Routledge Studies in Environmental Communication and Media series, this book examines the legacy of Soviet-era decisions that continue to impact the land and water systems of Central Asia. Readers will learn about the physical reality of crumbling irrigation systems and infrastructure that once supported the region. The text addresses serious contamination issues, including mine tailings that leach pollutants into groundwater and soil, as well as abandoned factories containing toxic chemicals. This book provides a detailed look at the major environmental challenges confronting the region, from the steppes and deserts to the glaciers and seas. It is an essential resource for those studying how public policy, culture, and historical infrastructure contribute to modern environmental crises.
