"TAKING CARE OF NATURE IS A PRICELESS GIFT" - BURABAI STATE NATIONAL NATURE PARK (PART 1)
The State National Nature Park "Burabai" was organized in August 2002. On the territory of the park there are 14 lakes with a mirror area of more than 1 sq. km each and a large number of small lakes. The most extensive and famous lakes are Bolshoe and Maloe Chebachye, Shchuchye, Borovoe and Maybalyk. There are no monuments of material culture in Borovoye.
But nature itself, by combining majestic mountain landscapes, blue mirror lakes, coniferous forests and deciduous groves, has created unique and inimitable natural landscapes. A long time ago, a boundless ancient sea splashed on the site of this mountain-forest oasis.
At the end of the glacial epoch, as a result of mining and educational processes, the sea disappeared, and the landscape acquired modern outlines. Under the influence of the sun, winds and rains, depressions, depressions, through holes formed in the rocks, as if made of giant slabs, so they acquired a bizarre and unusually picturesque appearance. There is some mysterious, attractive power in granite sculptures created by Mother Nature. It is necessary to step aside a little, and strain your imagination a little, as the stone "comes to life".
Lake Borovoe (Auliekol), located at an altitude of 319 m above sea level. On the transparent surface of the Blue Bay there is a rock-riddle Zhumbaktas (Sphinx). If you look at Zhumbaktas from different sides, you can see how her appearance changes from the profile of a young girl to the image of an old woman. A generous summer brings a lot of joy to vacationers. But the quiet sad autumn is no less generous and piercingly beautiful. The gold of birch copses, the crimson flashes of aspens are subtly shaded by the dark needles of ever-green pine forests and spruce forests. The smells of withering grass are mixed with a spicy mushroom aroma. About a hundred varieties of edible mushrooms grow in Borovoye. "Mushroom hunting" is very exciting and useful for a positive emotional mood. Borovoe is perfect at any time of the year. Winter covers the forest with a snow-white canvas, each twig is clearly outlined against a white background, fluffy pines and sprawling firs stand in snowdrifts, dressed in sparkling frost, breathe frosty snow and it seems that everything is frozen in an enchanted dream. But life goes on. Tourists will enjoy exciting skiing, snowmobiling and sledding, ice fishing and magnificent winter landscapes. In spring, the forests are elegant and delicate, filled with the spicy fragrance of herbs and flowers, young shoots are born on the dark-coniferous paws of fir trees, fragile cones appear and the breeze carries fragrant resinous waves.
The height of Borovoye above sea level is 250 m . The dome of Mount Kokshe (Sinyukha) rose closest to the blue sky, its height is 997 m above sea level. Kokshe Mountain is popularly called the mother of Three sisters - three neighboring rocks. Next to them stands the mountain rock cliff Okzhetpes. This is one of the most famous rocks of the Blue Mountains and many legends are associated with it. An amazing place is the glade of Abylai Khan. It is always quiet here, and the air temperature is several degrees higher than in the neighborhood.
A favorite place for hiking is the Ybraya trail, it winds at the very foot of Mount Kokshe, along the western shore of one of the most beautiful lakes of Borovoye - Bolshoy Chebachy. Lake Bolshoe Chebachye is distinguished by its unique beauty. Its waters are deep (up to 30 m) and transparent. There are many species of fish in it, and large crayfish hide under the stones. Bolshoe Chebachye and Maloe Chebachye are connected by a small noisy river Gromotukha.
Imanayevsky Key, which originates high in the mountains, is especially beautiful. Huge ferns grow along its bed, birches and quivering aspens bend over it, and a cascade of waterfalls leads tourists to admiration. The dense forests of Borovoye are full of life, the animal world has more than 300 species, vegetation is very rich and diverse. Pine forest gives healing air, saturated with coniferous aroma.
ON GUARD OF THE FOREST - BAMBI BUCKET SPILLWAY DEVICE
APUs are designed to extinguish forest fires from the air or to fill ground tanks with water in the area of forest fires.
This is necessary if a forest fire is active in a place where there are no natural water sources or it is not possible to deliver water by land transport.
Given that manual labor is the main way to extinguish forest fires, especially in remote and hard–to–reach areas where equipment cannot pass, the delivery of water in a soft container is an important factor in fighting forest fires.
Do not forget that aviation provides auxiliary assistance to ground groups, reducing the fire hazard class. Helicopters shoot down the flames, and paratroopers-firefighters do not let it flare up again.
The principle of operation is as follows, filling the APU with water is carried out by taking water in the helicopter hovering mode from the reservoir. The spillway device has the shape of a basket and consists of a special material, a frame and a drain valve. There is a feature in the design that allows you to quickly "flood" the APU, so a few seconds are enough for water intake. The APU is attached to the helicopter on an external suspension using a cable. The drain is performed by an observer pilot using the control panel.
The practice of using these devices revealed the following problem - even 15 tons of water dumped on a forest fire are not effective enough. Gorenje on the surface stops, but the high temperature quickly dries it. A light breeze is enough, and the tree lights up again. Therefore, in addition to the APU, another system is used – SDP (Foaming Agent Addition System).
SDP is a special substance that forms foam. Upon contact with the burning surface, a "film" is formed that prevents the access of atmospheric oxygen.
The technology of extinguishing forest fires with the help of the APU is as follows... The helicopter with the APU is on duty at the airfield and is called to extinguish the fire by a patrol aircraft. The observer pilot, having received the message, analyzes it and selects a suitable reservoir closest to the fire.
To choose the tactical methods of extinguishing a fire, the observer pilot and the helicopter commander calculate the fuel refueling, the permissible load for the delivery of the amphibious fire group and cargo, and the helicopter takes off to the fire. After the landing of the paratroopers-firefighters from the air, a helicopter landing site is selected with the engine turned off and the APU is installed from the transport to the working position, after which the helicopter is sent to the reservoir for water intake.
The aimed water drain is performed by an observer pilot, who sets the flight mode for the crew, indicates the edge for extinguishing. At a helicopter speed of 50-70 km / h, water is drained from a height of 15 m above the forest canopy, resulting in a wetted strip with a length of 75 to 230 m, a width of 10 to 20 meters, depending on the models of the APU. Transportation of the APU takes place on the suspension system of Mi-8 MTV helicopters.
"TAKING CARE OF NATURE IS A PRICELESS GIFT" - ILE-ALATAU STATE NATIONAL NATURE PARK (PART 1)
With this article, we begin a series of publications entitled "Taking care of Nature is a priceless gift", dedicated to the state national natural parks of our Homeland.Ile-Alatau State National Nature Park (Part 1)
One of the tourist gems of Almaty is the Big Almaty Lake*.
About the park
The Ile-Alatau National Park is located on the northern macroscline of the Trans-Ili Alatau and covers an area of 199 thousand hectares, being in close proximity to the city of Almaty. The length of the park territory from west to east is 120 km, and from south to north is 30 km. The absolute heights within which the national park is located range from 1200 to 5000 m.
The main activity of the National Park:
- Preservation of unique spruce and deciduous forests, numerous objects of the state nature reserve fund and historical and cultural heritage;
- Ensuring a special protection regime inside the national park and its buffer zone;
- Continuous environmental education of the local population, visitors and tourists of the park;
- Conducting scientific research in order to study biological diversity and develop methodological recommendations for its conservation;
- Implementation of environmental monitoring of objects of inanimate and living nature;
- Carrying out measures to restore disturbed natural complexes, objects of the nature reserve fund and historical and cultural heritage;
- Management of anthropogenic loads in the national park and its protected area for recreational, tourist, scientific, ecological, educational, limited economic and other purposes.
To fulfill its tasks, the territory of the park is divided into functional zones: conservation regime, environmental stabilization, tourist and recreational activities, as well as limited economic activity.
There is a protective or buffer zone around the national park, the role of which is performed by the Almaty State Nature Reserve, subordinated to the National Park in 1998.
Queen of Tien Shan - Shrenka Spruce
The main natural heritage of the Ile-Alatau Park is coniferous forests consisting of Shrenka spruce, as well as deciduous plantations of relict Sivers apple trees and wild apricot, aspen, birch, rowan, hawthorn, shrub and herbaceous plants. It is important to note that the Sievers apple tree is recognized as the progenitor of the entire modern assortment of this fruit breed in the world.
The national park contains unique natural monuments, such as relict moss spruce forests, waterfalls, alpine lakes, stone glaciers and glaciers, as well as cultural and historical heritage sites. These are the burial mounds of the Early Iron age, the famous Saka mounds, medieval settlements. An ancient road runs along the spurs of the Trans-Ili Alatau, along which tribes and peoples migrated in the distant past, and later the Great Silk Road appeared.
The richness and beauty of nature, monuments and objects of natural and cultural-historical heritage attract thousands of tourists to the national park. Dozens of hiking trails, automobile, hiking and equestrian routes are laid out in the park, conditions are created for a one-day and multi-day rest against the background of nature. The existing tourist infrastructure of the national park allows to receive and serve tourists at a high level.
History of creation
Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor, Honored Scientist of Kazakhstan, Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR, Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan I.O.Baitulin
The history of the Ile-Alatau State National Natural Park begins in 1931, when the Almaty State Reserve was created in the Trans-Ili Alatau. Initially, it occupied an area of 15 thousand hectares. in the valley of the Malaya Almatinka River. In 1935, after increasing the area to 40 thousand hectares, and later to 856.7 thousand hectares, it became known as Alma-Ata, covering the entire ridge of the Trans-Ili Alatau. Regular scientific research on vegetation cover, forest typology, birds and mammals began to be conducted on this territory.
Soviet and Kazakh botanist, geobotany specialist, academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR B.A.Bykov
The initiators of the creation of the Ile-Alatau National Park were well–known Kazakh scientists - botanists, zoologists and soil scientists, including academicians of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR B.A.Bykov, E.V.Gvozdev and I.O.Baitulin.
Soviet and Kazakh scientist-parasitologist, Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR E.V.Gvozdev
They were well aware of the need to preserve unique forest ecosystems dominated by relict Schrenk spruce and red–listed hardwoods - Sivers apple and wild apricot. The primary task in the conditions of an increasing flow of tourists and vacationers was the preservation of other natural complexes with all elements of biological diversity, as well as glaciers, lakes and mountain rivers that provide water to Almaty and many other settlements.
Tuyuk-Su Glacier
* The big Almaty Lake was formed as a result of the activity of an ancient glacier. Retreating, he left behind a moraine – a pile of detritus: rubble, stones, earth. Subsequently, meltwater filled the resulting basin. A high-altitude reservoir located in the Trans-Ili Alatau at an altitude of 2511 m above sea level, 15 km south of the center of Almaty. The water temperature in summer is 10-12 C.
Peak Tips
Three main peaks rise above the lake, they can be seen from the northern end of the dam: Soviets Peak (4,317 m) – in the southeast; Ozerny Peak (4,110 m) - in the south, up the river valley; and the wooded slopes of Tourist Peak (3,954 m) are located southwest of the lake. Depending on the time of year, the lake changes its color – from light green to turquoise blue. At the top, at an altitude of 2,700 m above the blue bowl of the lake, in a very ancient glacial valley, there is an observatory village with spectacular domes, which is called the "Tien Shan Astronomical Observatory". And even higher, at an altitude of 3,300 m, near the Zhasylkezen pass, there is a Cosmic Ray Research Station (Cosmostation). The Big Almaty Lake is rightfully considered a popular holiday destination.

A LETTER OF THANKS TO AYSAROV A.S. IN CONNECTION WITH GOING ON A WELL-DESERVED REST
SOARING UP THE MOUNTAINSIDE...
Soaring up the mountainside,
Fire without feeling obstacles,
Burns everything in its path,
Only the ashes leave,
But not for long this dispute is the elements of troubles and the charms of nature,
The forest landing is desperate and proud,
Always ready to engage in an unequal battle,
After all, a paratrooper has peace in his soul,
The fire has been extinguished and is back in operation.
Love nature!
