Buiratau National Park, National park in northern Kazakhstan

Buiratau National Park is a protected area in northern Kazakhstan combining dry steppe landscapes with forested regions. The varied terrain creates habitats for many animal and plant species found across central Asia.

The park was established in 2011 to protect the ecosystems of the region. This creation was part of broader efforts to preserve the natural heritage of northern Kazakhstan.

The park's name means "curly mountain" in Kazakh, after the Yereymentau hills. Its staff of 94 works from an office in Molodezhny village, Karaganda region. The park was created under the government decree No. 247 of 11 March 2011, with support from a UNDP/GEF steppe ecosystem project within the Green Development 2011–2014 programme.

The park straddles Yereymentau district in Akmola region (60,814 ha) and Osakarov district in Karaganda region (28,154 ha), with its central office in the village of Molodezhny, Karaganda region. Access is by road from Astana, roughly 60 km to the west. Hunting, fishing and plant collecting require prior authorisation. January averages -16 °C and July 20 °C, so plan clothing accordingly.

The park harbors rare wild sheep and various raptors that soar over the steppes. These animal populations make it an important refuge for central Asian wildlife.
