Only monitoring can demonstrate the need to preserve insect species diversity in the reserve, as well as in other, unprotected areas. Legislation has predetermined the absence of anthropogenic influence within the reserve's territory.

Report materials from the Sary-Chelek Reserve for 1981–1985, based on research of the northern macroslope of the Kyrgyz Ala-Too, were used for comparison.
This essay is based on the publication: Shukurov, E.J. The Natural and Anthropogenic Environment of Kyrgyzstan. (Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan, Kyrgyz Committee 'Man and the Biosphere,' Institute of Management under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. Bishkek, 'Ilim,' 1991).

The main operating principles of these plots are the creation and use of restorative successions, launched within microterritories, and the promotion of the restoration of local hotspots of biodiversity and food chains.
The Sary-Chelek State Biosphere Reserve, under the jurisdiction of the State Forestry Service of the Kyrgyz Republic, is located in the northwestern part of the Jalal-Abad region, within Aksy district.

The list of species of the family Pompilidae of the local fauna given below is based on material collected by the author within the reserve in 1992, 1993, 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2001 (this material is presented without indicating the collector's name).
