Being the nature reserve Carska Bara is the habitat for 240 rare species of birds,out of which 130 are non-migratory and 110 migratory. Therefore this nature reserve is one of the most important stations in Europe. Due to its natural resources it is included in the list of the Ramsar, IBA and IPA region.

As it is one of the most important resting places on the migration route of migratory birds, some species stay only ten days, and some like the Siberian wild geese, abide there during winters (hibernate). All of eight species of herons built their nests in Carska bara, so the heron has become a trademark of the reserve. Within the rich and varied bird colony, there are other types, such as the pelican, coot, white-tailed eagle, hen harries and western marsh harriers, cormorant, Eurasian Sparrow hawk and others.

In the mosaic disposition of forest, meadow, prairie and wetland vegetation some rare and protected plant species such as white and yellow water lilies, plum thistles, wild flowers, water chestnut Loose-Flowered Orchid etc, have found their habitat.
