In the 21st century, the study of the biodiversity of the plant and animal components of the biosphere has acquired global significance due to the catastrophic decline in plant and animal species as a result of human economic activity.
Natural biocenoses play an exceptional role in creating an environment suitable for life. The greatest number and diversity of natural biocenoses is found in the mountains.
Cryophytic medium-grass meadows are clearly delineated in nature physiognomically, ecologically, and coenotically. They occur from the upper boundary of the dark-coniferous forest belt down to the lower boundary of cryophytic low-grass (alpine) meadows.
Our own State Agency for Environmental Protection and Forestry does not have enough salaried positions for nature protection, even for those species of animals and plants included in the Red Book of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The tree is a symbol of Life. It gave rise to humankind. Humans are the fruit of the Tree of Life. But a fruit that is unable to reproduce Life, yet is able to worsen and even destroy it.
Representatives of the Environmental Movement 'BIOM,' the Global Forest Coalition, and national environmental organizations took part in the National Presentation of the draft resolution of the 75th session of the UN General Assembly, 'Nature Knows No Borders.'
Humanity currently faces a number of global challenges. By global challenges, we mean the abrupt changes in the social, informational, and natural environment of human habitation that have occurred over the past 100 years in almost the entire world.
The decline of biodiversity in Kyrgyzstan over a long period of time has been caused by a number of factors, particularly the disruption of the habitat conditions of natural communities or their direct destruction.
Recently there has been a marked increase in psychologists' attention to all forms of behavior that are, in one way or another, connected with money; this is apparently linked to their focus on social processes (for example, buying and selling is directly connected with communication) and to the dependence of the use of money on the personality characteristics of the individual. The work briefly presented below attracted the attention of the organizing committee of the International Congress of Applied Psychology and was included on the agenda of the plenary session, but was not delivered for reasons unrelated to its content.
In a simplified view, communication is a process formed by the activity of its participants. The core of this process is directed connection, which is expressed in the transmission of information. The relationship of the subjects of communication to one another and to its object underlies what can be described as a communicative system. Let me note once again that what has been said is simplified and variable. One can, for example, view the participants in communication as its subjects at different levels of activity; if we see the essence of communication in activity, then the transition to its existence occurs through the choice of its specific forms. Regarding the object of communication, opinions differ: one can see the Other, toward whom the subject's intention is directed, as the object of communication, or one can regard the substantive side of communication — its theme, Umwelt, Mitwelt — in a word, the world that is not indifferent to us — as its object.
The chaos currently observed in the spiritual life of society is the filling of a void — a natural result arising from the removal of rigid ideological pressure. Without going into a detailed account of the laws governing the ideological life of society, let us note that there is no society without social consciousness, and people intuitively feel the need to share certain views, opinions, and interests with others. The stability of this collective sense of self-awareness guarantees the stability of behavioral attitudes and of the individual's social standing. 'Consciousness abhors a vacuum,' and so the elementary constructs that have a long history and deep psychological roots are the quickest to return. This is precisely what we observe in the form of widespread fascinations with astrology, pseudosciences, and religions in their most vulgar manifestations — in short, everything that requires no education or effort to acquire. Such 'fruits of enlightenment' are always followed by the 'reign of darkness.'
