By drawing a reasonable amount of auxiliary lines and circles it is pretty clear the area of the shaded region equals the area of an equilateral triangle with side length $2$, hence the wanted area is $\color{red}{\sqrt{3}}$.

With an integral:

$$ A = 2\int_{-2}^{1}\left|\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{4-x^2}\right|\,dx = \color{red}{\sqrt{3}}. $$

Hint. Let $E$ and $F$ be the intersections of the two semi-circles ($E$ on the left and $F$ on the right) and let $M$ be the midpoint of $AD$. Then the triangles $\triangle AEM$, $\triangle EFM$, and $\triangle FDM$ are all equilateral with sides of length $2$.
