Forest of the Tien Shan.
Forests in Kazakhstan are mainly located in the northeast and southeast of the republic, in the Altai and Tien Shan mountains.

fauna representatives. The Western Tien Shan differs from the northern one in landscape; accordingly, instead of spruce forests, juniper forests mainly grow here, and most of the slopes are treeless and covered with Himalayan-type meadows. In the lowlands, in the areas of villages, gardens grow. The higher slopes are covered with deciduous forests and groves of wild apple and apricot trees, and only at an altitude of 1 - 300 m do spruce trees appear. But spruce trees grow mainly on northern slopes.
Prominent representatives of the fauna of the Western Tien Shan are such animal species as: porcupine, bluebird and Himalayan red-necked tit, white-throated nightingale, red-winged lentil and many others. In general, in the forests of the Tien Shan, you can see large animals such as wild boar, roe deer, snow leopard, Tien Shan brown bear, Central Asian lynx, etc.
