01:11Here you can see 365 types of birds, 443 types of higher plants, and more than 5000 animals.
01:23Most notably, the reserve is known as the heaven for birds. Three migration flyways across Kurgaljin's territory – Central Asian, West Asian East African, and Black Sea Mediterranean.
01:35This brings thousands of birds here every year, including the crown jewel, the pink flamingo.
01:41Hailing from Iran, Iraq, India, Pakistan and Egypt, flamingos arrive in Kazakhstan in April and stay through October, while here they renew their plumage, hatch chicks, and wait for the babies to get stronger.

02:42Flamingos are drawn to the lakes in Kurgaljin for their salinity. With nothing but open shorelines, predators have nowhere to hide, making this place a safe haven for the birds.
02:52The biggest lake in the reserve, Lake Tingas, has 270 grams of salt per liter of water, which is almost 7 times the average amount of salt in seawater.
