Which animals breed on the high tablelands of the eastern Pamirs?

The high tablelands of the eastern Pamirs serve as a primary breeding ground for the mountain goat and the argali (Marco Polo) wild sheep.1

In addition to these species, the region hosts other wildlife, though their presence varies based on human activity and habitat:

• Sheep and Goats: Occasional sightings of blue sheep and urial are reported, while ibex are commonly found in areas with minimal human disturbance.1
• Predators: The availability of prey, supported by protections against hunting, sustains a small population of snow leopards, as well as brown bears and wolves that feed on marmots.1
• Birds: High-altitude peaks are frequented by lammergeiers and Himalayan griffons. Additionally, the eastern Pamirs are visited by large numbers of migratory waterfowl traveling between Siberia and South Asia.1
