Title
La Faune Vertébrée de la Province de Bamiyan (French). The Vertebrate Fauna of Bamiyan Province (English)
Author(s)
Shank, C.
Abstract
The faunal diversity of Bamyan Province appears fairly limited due to its high altitude, cold climate, low rainfall levels and ecological uniformity. Just 25% of Afghan mammals, 30% of birds and 3% of the country's reptiles are thought to occur in Bamiyan. However, as with all of Afghanistan, it is a land waiting to be discovered. The publication (published in French by Ceredaf), is available for subscription and download here, and discusses the potential for further zoological discoveries in Bamiyan.
