Tengrinews.kz – Police have begun using drones to patrol the natural area of Burabay, as part of efforts to enforce environmental regulations and respond to emergencies.
The drones are deployed to detect illegal fishing, poaching, and fires in the region. A recent aerial patrol, conducted on November 20, surveyed lakes including Maloye Chebachye, Shchuchye, and Burabay, along with nearby forests.
Duman Zhumanalin, a senior inspector of the Burabay district environmental police, noted that in 2024, specialized mobile teams carried out over 180 patrols.
"We identified and stopped approximately 200 administrative violations related to hunting and fishing regulations," Zhumanalin stated.
Environmental protection efforts in Burabay are carried out in collaboration with the national park authorities. The area is monitored using 13 observation towers equipped with 360-degree cameras that cover a radius of up to 30 kilometers.
Round-the-clock surveillance is conducted via drones and stationary cameras, allowing authorities to monitor the natural reserve effectively.
In the autumn and winter seasons, police also focus on educating fishermen about the dangers of thin ice, checking permits, and verifying fishing equipment. These measures aim to ensure safety and compliance with regulations while preserving the region’s natural heritage.
