Protecting nature

Are there any endangered animals, birds and plants in Kazakhstan? Can you name some of them?

In Kazakhstan there are many different animals, birds and plants. But some species are in danger. The country has seven important nature reserves. These reserves are working hard to save the country's endangered species.

If you travel 25 km to the east of Almaty, you will find the beautiful Almaty Nature Reserve. This reserve covers an area of 73,300 hectares and it contains 137 different species of plants, 39 species of animals and 200 species of birds. Endangered species at Almaty include the golden eagle, the Turkestan lynx, the snow leopard, the ibex and the red bear.

A large part of the reserve is closed to the public. This helps to protect the wildlife. It is possible to get special permission to visit.

As well as the birds, animals and plants, the reserve has other attractions. More energetic visitors enjoy climbing Mount Talgar, which is 4,973 m high. Others visit the singing sand dunes. These dunes are 150 m high and they make a very strange noise when you walk over them!
