About Kalamaili

Stretching across the Junggar Basin between the Ulungur River and the northern Tianshan Mountains, Kalamaili is one of China's largest nature reserves. Named "black earth" in Kazakh, it preserves arid steppe ecosystem habitat for Przewalski's horse, Mongolian wild ass, and goitered gazelle.
