Badhyz State Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Mary Region, Turkmenistan.
The reserve extends over 877 square kilometers of varied landscapes, featuring solitary foothills ranging from 20 to 200 meters in height.
The establishment of Badhyz State Nature Reserve in 1941 marked the beginning of formal conservation efforts in southwestern Turkmenistan.
The reserve incorporates three distinct wildlife sanctuaries: Çemenebit, Gyzyljar, and Pulhatyn, which were established in 1956 to protect local fauna.
Visitors can access the reserve through regional roads while adhering to conservation guidelines that maintain the ecological balance of the protected area.
The population of Asiatic wild ass in the reserve grew from 200 specimens in 1941 to 5000, though current numbers stand at 650.
