About 90% of the park is made up of beautiful broad-leaved forests consisting of Caucasian oak, Oriental beech, European hornbeam, and many other tree species. The park is home to the East Caucasian tur, a mountain goat-antelope endemic to these mountains, as well as lynx, brown bear, wild boar, wolf, golden jackal, red fox, roe deer and other mammals. Birders can look forward to a rich variety of raptors and passerines.
