The Shirkala Reserve was created to preserve the natural diversity of the region, protect the saiga population and endangered species of flora and fauna. Many species of animals living in this region are listed in the Red Book of Kazakhstan, such as the steppe eagle, bustard, and saiga. Saiga migration paths pass through the reserve, which was also the reason for the creation of a protected area here. On the territory of the reserve in the spring, you can observe herds of saiga.
