The Steppe Eagle (Aquila nipalensis) is a bird without which it is impossible to imagine Kazakhstan. According to the latest 2018 population estimate, there were 20950–31570 breeding pairs in the country (68.5–82.2% of the world population). The Kazakhstan population has been steadily declining since at least the 1990s (Karyakin, 2018). In the present period, an unfavorable trend is observed throughout the entire Kazakhstan range of the Steppe Eagle, but the lack of regular and geographically representative monitoring does not allow a correct assessment of the rate of decline. Steppe eagles on breeding in Kazakhstan are unevenly distributed in three breeding groups: western, central and eastern.
