According to monitoring results, the population of rare species such as the snow leopard, Tien Shan brown bear, and Karatau argali has been steadily growing in recent years. Conservationists attribute this to effective protective measures and favorable ecological conditions in the region.

“Positive changes have become possible thanks to the work of rangers and inspectors, who prevent poaching, protect animal habitats, and safeguard the natural balance,” the park administration said.

The Tien Shan brown bear, listed in Kazakhstan’s Red Book of endangered species, inhabits the mountain ranges of the Tien Shan. A spring census recorded 105 individuals within the park, confirming population growth.
Sayram-Ugam National Park is home to 59 species of mammals, 10 of which are listed in the Red Book. These include Menzbier’s marmot, the white-bellied long-eared bat, the Tien Shan brown bear, stone marten, snow leopard, Turkestan lynx, Karatau argali, and the Indian porcupine.
