Houbara bustard (Chlamydotis macqueenii) breeds and occurs on migration in southern part of Kazakhstan. Habitats of these bids are clay, stony, saline deserts and semi-deserts. According to estimates,about 60,000 individuals live in Kazakhstan now. This species included in the Red List of the Republicof Kazakhstan and in the Red Lists of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Russia also. The establishment ofthe national state protected zones stimulated the annual monitoring of these birds in Kazakhstan withuse of vehicles and modern surveillance equipment. The purpose of the monitoring is rational uses ofpopulation, maintaining of number. The registration of houbara bustards on the territory of AndasaiState Game Reserve and Zhusandalinsky reserved zone in 2017 included the survey of flat areas withboyaluch, biyurgun, keireuk and caragana. Group settlements and single individuals were identified.There were conducted survey using the method of extrapolation of the territory and estimates of the population of houbara bustards by the average values of possible growth after the completion of nesting.Distribution of bustard shows the influence of the disturbance factor due to indirect human impact. Thenorthern territories of the reserve zone are visited by birds only during the flights. The population of bustard increased on 8-9% during the last six years. Preserve measures of Chlamydotis macqueenii shouldinclude landscape-ecological zoning, patrolling, awareness raising of the population and developmentof protection program of nests.Key words: Houbara bustard, Kazakhstan, Zhusandalinsky reserved zone, Andasai Game Reserve,monitoring.
