EAGLE-HUNTING IN KAZAKHSTAN

In the middle of winter in a small village in Kazakhstan, the sky comes alive with a beautiful sight – the sight of eagles hunting. Below the eagles, with the big Tien Shan Mountains behind them, you can see men in big fur hats, riding powerful horses and looking up at their eagles.

The village of Nura in the south east of Kazakhstan has become famous for the traditional sport of eagle-hunting. Nura has 14 Burkitshi – the name given to the people who hunt with eagles. There are only 40 in the whole of Kazakhstan, so this is a large number for such a small village.

The sport of eagle-hunting has been popular in Central Asia for many centuries, and today more and more Kazakhs are keen to rediscover this traditional sport.

There is a lot of skill needed to hunt with a big bird of prey like an eagle. They are powerful and unpredictable birds and the Burkitshi need to be careful, strong, wise, and patient to work with them. Eagle-hunting is not a sport for everyone.

The sport is also helping to look after the eagles of Kazakhstan, which are now an endangered species. Once the sport of Central Asian rulers, let's hope that the traditional sport of eagle-hunting continues to grow in popularity, and helps to successfully protect these beautiful birds.
