contains 137 different species of plants, 39 species of
animals and 200 species of birds. Endangered species at
Almaty include the golden eagle, the Turkestan lynx, the
snow leopard, the Ibex and the red bear. A large part of
the reserve is closed to the public. This helps to protect
the wildlife. It is possible to get special permission to visit.
