Environmental challenges 

Durin 1990-2005 the pasturs experience owergrazin that exceeds the norm 3-4 times acause cattle breedin haes been transformed intae local fowk main source o income. This haes resultit in the degradation o muntain pastures an the extinction o valuable forage species an medicinal plants. 

Forest vegetation is hivily degradit as a consequence o cuttin wood for fuel an construction needs. Soil erosion, hivy mud flows an the formation o ravines hae led tae the reduction o cultivable auries an as soil fertility.

Watter scarcity is an' a' a vera important problem o this region, due tae low precipitation. Tradeetionally veelagers gather the run-aff frae muntain slopes an gorges in specially built reservoirs cawed howdans. In favourable years the howdans store sufficient watter tae irrigate the fields durin ane saison. But durin 2000-2005 the howdans wur left unfilled due tae insufficient precipitations.United National Development Programme in Turkmenistan.
