Ile-Balkhash State Nature Reserve
Ile-Balkhash State Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Almaty Region, Kazakhstan
The reserve spans 415,164 hectares across two main sites, Pribalkhashsky and Ile River Delta, featuring wetlands, desert landscapes, and river channels.
The Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan established this protected territory in June 2018 to preserve natural ecosystems and support wildlife conservation efforts.
The reserve maintains scientific research stations where experts study local species and conduct regular monitoring of the Tugai red deer population.
Visitors need special permits to enter the protected zones, and activities are limited to designated areas within the reserve's buffer zones.
The Ile River Delta represents Central Asia's only preserved river delta system, providing essential habitats for numerous wetland bird species.
