One of the oldest in Central Asia, the Naurzum State Nature Reserve is a unique natural complex. Created to preserve the steppe landscapes of Northern Kazakhstan, it also included large lake systems and island pine and small-leaved forests with all the diversity of flora and fauna.
The reserve was organized on July 30, 1931 by Resolution of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR No. 826. On September 30, 1934, the resolution was approved and approved by the Presidium of the Kazakh Executive Committee of the Council of People's Commissars of the Kazakh SSR.
The initial area of the reserve was determined at 250 thousand hectares and consisted of two large massifs. In 1936 , the area of the reserve increased to 320 thousand hectares .
Since the organization, its territory has undergone significant changes. In 1951, it, among other reserves of the Soviet Union, was liquidated, and the Naurzum forestry was organized on the basis of its forests. The protected regime was returned to the territory only in 1966, only on an area of 85.7 thousand hectares. The modern area of the reserve (since 2004) is 191.4 thousand hectares.
On July 7, 2008, at the UNESCO session in Quebec City (Canada), the Naurzum Reserve was included in the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage Lists in the nomination "Sary - Arka – Steppes and Lakes of Northern Kazakhstan".
