Acquiring a comprehensive understanding of the spatiotemporal dynamics urban wetlands in Kazakhstan is crucial for their effective preservation and sustainable development. Our findings identify past present Land Use Cover (LULC) capital city, providing policymakers with scientific evidence improved management. Using remote sensing Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques, this study examines changes Taldykol catchment area during rapid development Astana. In 1992, over 90% was grassland vegetation. By 2022, 30% became barren land. Urban areas increased by 127%, water decreased 24%. The most significant occurred lakes Kishi Taldykol, whose shrank 91% 54%, respectively. near-disappearance likely to contribute rising land surface temperatures (LST), natural flood control capacity, reduced biodiversity, diminished recreational opportunities. fate underscores urgent need raise public awareness about role Kazakhstan’s ecosystems take action preserve wetlands.
