Non-FAU Project
Acronym: GEFNE81-13
Start date : 07.05.2013
End date : 07.09.2013
Surveys of fauna and flora in the Tajik Western Pamir, Afghan Vakhan Corridor, and the highland deserts of the Eastern Pamir - areas that are still little known to international scientific community. The project team looked into a number of "Pamirian oases" – the thermal springs - which we expect to harbor relic, undescribed species that have survived there since the times in the Earth’s history when the Pamir had lower altitude and less harsh climate than nowadays.
