On the track of large animals in wilderness of Central Asia and conservation of nature

On the track of large animals in wilderness of Central Asia and conservation of nature by Thomasz Quatl- Pietrzak_ quatlwork@, thomasquatl@///.  It is believed that Central Asia is forgotten gap in knowledge, region where coexist large animals. Many of them are still unknown for zoological exploration. The most charismatic are so-called unknown primates of Xinjiang-kashgaria and some sort of reptiles, varanids occured in the wild areas.


But mountainous kashgaria are occupied by forest-dwellers such as wolverine (Gulo gulo) which is little known etc. and one, unrecognized terrestial animal resembling large badger. Some kind of crocodile-like varanid is reported here. Natural history of that part of world (esp. Xinjiang) is isolated for years, only some studies conducted by " local scientists and philosophers" remain. Natural history of remote forests and mountains in the wild terra silvestre of North Afghanistan and uzbekistan’s wilderness is still little known. These areas inhabits large animals that was not previously confirmed. Perhaps, the largest of them is small kind of mammuthus survived in northern Tien Shan. All of the cryptozoological identity must be treated cautiously. North Afghanistan is habitat for rare animals. One of them is hoofed species similar to goat-antelope. Field inventory of remote chinese Gansu for confirmed rare terrestrial animals (amphibians, reptiles) and uzbekistan's Zaamin Reserve for identifying rare forest leporid. Field proposal by europeans in the wilderness of Zaamin Massif and more remote areas, such as Chatkal Range (Uzbekistan) are concerned for future. Here in Tarim Basin, in wilderness, poplar forests inhabits endemic animals being recognized by locals. Conditions in wild areas of Central Asia are still valuable. Non-pragmatic exploitation of pristine habitats in Borohoro Shan or more towards areas in the wildest kazakh-chinese borders. Wilderness conservation and saving their inhabitants in terra silvestre North Afghanistan and Zaamin and Chatkal Massif or forested/semi-arid zones from Uzbekistan are priorities.
