Therefore, in works of art, the image of nature often occupies a place along with a person to one degree or another. This is evidenced by the theme of ecology, which is initially found in samples of oral folk literature and continues to be considered up to modern literature.

Toponymic names reflected in national values are comprehensively analyzed, and ecological consciousness is shown as the beginning of Turkic culture and civilization, as well as the formation of a culture of respect for the native land.

Landfill trials, which had a detrimental effect on the fate of people and nature, were also reflected in fiction. The author identifies the issues of historical truth and artistic solutions on the topic of ecology in modern Kazakh literature.
