The Burabay State National Nature Park (Kazakh: «Бурабай» мемлекеттік ұлттық табиғи паркі, romanized: «Burabai» memlekettık ūlttyq tabiği parkı; Russian: Государственный национальный природный парк «Бурабай», romanized: Gosudarstvennyy natsional'nyy prirodnyy park «Burabay») is a national park located in Burabay District, Aqmola Region, Kazakhstan, which covers a vast area of 129,935 hectares, with a significant portion of the land covered by forests, lakes, and diverse landscapes, including the Kokshetau Massif, part of the Kokshetau Hills.
The Burabay National Park has a rich history, starting with the establishment of a state forest in 1898.
The park features a variety of ecosystems, including forests, lakes, and steppes, and is home to a diversity of flora and fauna.
Being recognized as one of the top tourist destinations in Kazakhstan, the Burabay National Park is directly managed under the jurisdiction of the President of Kazakhstan and is considered a significant protected area, with activities in the park regulated to preserve its natural and ecological integrity.
In the steppes and wooded areas, fox species, weasels and European and mountain hares might be present, as well as badgers in the forests.
There are a variety of birds, particularly ducks and waders which include common goldeneye, mallard, gadwall, northern pintail, ruddy shelducks, plovers, northern lapwings, common sandpipers and green sandpipers.
Feeling aggrieved, the Kazakh people prayed to God, who gathered all the remaining mountains, forests, lakes and rivers, and threw them towards the steppes.
