On the track of large animals in wilderness of Central Asia and conservation of nature by Thomasz Pietrzak
still on the track........ ale?
It is believed that Central Asia has gaps in knowledge, a region where large animals coexist. Many of them are still unknown for zoological exploration. The most charismatic are so-called unknown primates of Xinjiang-kashgaria and some sort of reptile, dinosaur-like varanid that occur in the wild areas. So, the mountainous Dżungaria are occupied by forest--and rocky dwellers such as wolverine (Gulo gulo) which is little known and some kind of dinosaur-like varanid is reported around Saryam Lake in Borohoro (Lai Kuan and Jian Qun, 1993). As for Kashgaria there is an unrecognized terrestrial animal resembling american badger (Lydekker, 1878). Natural history of that part of the world (esp. Xinjiang)
is overlooked for years, lost species are lost and only some studies conducted by " european scientists and philosophers" remain. Natural history of remote forests and mountains in the wild terra silvestre of North and Inner Afghanistan and Uzbekistan wilderness has long ago been a subject for travellers, workers and entrepreneurs. These areas inhabit larger animals that were not previously confirmed: sort of mustelids, Canidae, birds, lizards, ruminants (i.e. forests of Olipore ?). Perhaps, the largest of the unknown animals of Inner Asia is a small kind of mammoth that survived in northern Tien Shan, but it can be as good as only fake info for naive Europeans, provided by other europeans. All of the cryptozoological identity must be treated cautiously, but the most important, are of course wildlife management practices. North and Inner Afghanistan is habitat for rare animals, which were described by travellers to this country. One of them is hoofed species similar to Naemorhedus and another "hybridity" species of wild dog with wolf traits and then bird of prey, larger than eagle. Field inventory could be good solution for project in remote chinese Gansu for looking for rare terrestrial animals (amphibians, reptiles) and Kandahar Wilds for reg-mahi, which is sort of unique lizard (unpublished in 1967) and uzbekistan's Zaamin Reserve for identifying rare forest leporid (Megalepus sp.?), which is only myth effect of ethnozoological phenomena, such as american waheela. Field proposal for small project, that can be carry out by europeans in the wilderness of western Tian Shan (i.e. Zaamin and Chatkaly of Uzbekistan) are left for the future, but in the form of a complex campaign focused on what-is-today chinese and russian Turkestan. Here, Tarim Basin with Thibet borderland, in the wilderness of poplar forests and mountains have been inhabited by endemic animals being recognized by locals and travelers to this country. Natural hazards in wild areas of Inner Asia are still described at point on the board for management of safety and other aspects of natura-based dangers. Decision makers for pristine habitats in Borohoro Shan or more towards areas in the wildest kazakh-chinese borders revealed priority activities for both study rare animals and discovering new populations in the name of distribution updates. Wilderness conservation and saving their inhabitants in terra silvestre North and Inner Afghanistan and Western Tian Shan and other forested/semi-arid zones from Uzbekistan are proposed small projects, but only written here.
