In the process of the study the general soil-ecological disturbances of the soil cover, i.e. anthropogenic, pasture digression, degradation, erosion processes were revealed. There is an intensified grazing of cattle, which significantly affects soil properties, first of all, physical ones. An indispensable consequence of overgrazing is soil compaction. The condition of soil and vegetation cover in pastures is the main factor of ecosystem stability. Excessive load on pastures leads to violation of integrity of ecosystem functioning and development of pasture digression. The elements of grazing regulation are the correspondence of the number of animals to the grazing area, pasture productivity and general control over the state of the natural environment.  Compliance with the above requirements can be a guarantee of sustainable development of the ecosystem and preservation of rare plant species. Soil-ecological conditions of growing of endangered species of tulips Regel, Albert and Kolpakovsky were investigated on the territory of Zhambyl district of Almaty region.
