Answer 1

Answer:

Pamir alpine desert and tundra

The Pamir is a high plateau located at the crossroads of several of Asia’s largest mountain ranges: the Himalaya, Karakoram, Hindu Kush and Tian Shan. Affinities with all three mountain ranges encourages a variety of species. Furthermore, the Pamir’s high vertical relief, compared to the larger Tibetan Plateau that lies to the east, increases habitat diversity as well. Biodiversity is relatively high. Overgrazing and poaching are the major threats to endangered vertebrates such as the brown bear (Ursus arctos isabellinus), snow leopards (Uncia uncia), wolves (Canis lupus), markhor (Capra falconeri), and Marco Polo sheep (Ovis ammon polii) that inhabit this ecoregion.
