Pirguli State Reserve

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The reserve of Pirguli was created in 1968 to protect the typical landscapes from the plate of Shamakha, one of the most beautiful areas of the south-east of the Large Caucasus. Surface is 1.521 hectares, including 90% of forests of leafy trees, sheltering nearly 50 endemic vegetable species. Altitude lies there between 1.600 and 2.000 m of altitude. Cliffs dominate of deep canyons, being able to reach 600 m of depth.

Among the remarkable mammals, one will note the presence of the porcupine, the wolf and the hyena striped, whose reserve is one of the last refuges in Azerbaijan.
