| 2015 Full Book | |
The Wakhan District in northeast Afghanistan is an area known for the presence of a rare assemblage of charismatic mammal species of Central Asian highlands, including the Siberian ibex (_Capra sibirica_), Marco Polo sheep (_Ovis ammon polii_), urial (_Ovis orientalis_), brown bear (_Ursus arctos_) and possibly the most abundant population of snow leopards (_Panthera uncia_) in Afghanistan. In recognition of this outstanding wildlife and a unique assemblage of ecoregional diversity, the Government of Afghanistan declared the Wakhan District a National Park in March 2014. |
