Khakasski Nature Reserve (Russian: Хакасский заповедник) (also Khakassky) is a Russian 'zapovednik' (strict nature reserve) covering two large mountain areas (alpine and mountain-steppe), and a cluster of seven steppe sites located within the left bank of the Minusinsk depression.

[1][2] It was originally created to preserve steppe ecosystems, wetlands and waterfowl nesting sites, and a historical complex of monuments and cemeteries from the 4-11 centuries BC.

The reserve is particularly noted for its variety of large lakes on the Yenisei River migration route for birds.

[1] The Khakasski Reserve is a collection of nine tracts of land covering two types of habitat - steppe and mountain taiga.

In the mountainous sectors of Khakassi, temperatures about 2 C degrees cooler, and precipitation ranges up to 800 - 1,100 mm/year with a frost-free period of only 85 days.

[2] The different sectors were each chosen for a particular habitat for study and conservation, with the two general environments being steppe and mountain taiga.

The animal life of the reserve is characteristic of the northern Sayan mountain steppe and forest region.
