Kazakhstan is the ninth largest country in the world and is located in central Eurasia. Altitudes range from 132 m below sea level (Karagiye Depression) to 7010 m above sea level (Khan Tengri). Although most of the landscape is relatively flat and almost half of the area is desert, however several mountain ranges and many rivers, lakes and swamps ensure a wide variety of landscape types. Kazakhstan protects its nature in 13 national parks, all located in the east of the country. The avifauna is correspondingly rich. Among other species, various grouse live here. BirdLife International has registered more than 120 IBAs (Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas) for Kazakhstan. Tourism is poorly developed, partly because of the inadequate infrastructure.
