The reserve’s century-long history is a story of biodiversity conservation, scientific discoveries and the work of several generations of specialists who have dedicated themselves to studying and protecting nature.

We wish the staff of the Aksu-Zhabagly State Nature Reserve new scientific discoveries, successful research and further achievements in conserving Kazakhstan’s unique natural heritage!
