The Mekletinsky Reserve covers 1025 square kilometers of semi-desert terrain with xerophytic grasses and shrubs near the Caspian Sea lowlands.
The Russian government established the Mekletinsky Reserve on January 12, 1988, to protect the European saiga antelope population and other endangered species.
Scientists from different countries conduct research in the reserve to study the preservation methods of rare species in semi-desert conditions.
