Tajikistan's original landscape, climate and millions years of evolution have resulted in the development of great mosaic of terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, flora, fauna and microorganisms. There are dozen of relict and endemic life forms, numerous evidences and fossil relicts of previous biological diversity. Besides, Tajikistan's territory, as the ancient Mediterranean area, served as an arena of progressive species formation and stored the gene pool for many cultural species of plants and animals that are widely used now. As many as 84 species of mammals, 346 species of birds, 47 species of reptiles, 52 species of fish, 2 species of amphibians, about 13,000 species of invertebrates have been registered in Tajikistan. |
