Kazakh Steppe

The Kazakh Steppe is a vast, flat grassland region covering much of Kazakhstan and parts of neighboring countries in Central Asia. Known for its rich biodiversity and expansive open skies, it has historically served as a vital area for nomadic herding and agriculture. The terrain features grasses, shrubs, and few trees, with a climate characterized by hot summers and cold winters. The steppe's open landscape has shaped cultural traditions, fostering a lifestyle centered around cattle and horse herding. Today, it remains an important ecological and economic area, balancing conservation with development and agriculture.
