Biodiversity, ecological and cultural heritage
227. 
The vegetation of the Zarafshan valley is very diverse. The more complex the relief, 
the richer the vegetation cover and the brighter it reflects an entire ecological complex. As in 
other areas of Central Asia, xerophyte types of vegetation predominate in the region under 
study. The distribution of plant groups in the region is determined by the absolute height and 
terrain conditions, with an important role played by the exposure of slopes. The fauna of 
nearby territories is characterized by species typical of anthropogenic landscapes. Basically, 
these are rodents: a house mouse, a gray rat, a blindfold, a vole, a long-eared hedgehog.
228. 
Ornithofauna of Samarqand province is represented by 25 species, among which 
dominates the field and Indian sparrows, the small turtledove, the ordinary starling, the 
swallow whale, the red-swallow swallow, the black swift and the Maina. In addition, there are 
black crow, magpie, jackdaw in the province. Synanthropic species - house mouse 
(Mus
museums),
gray rat 
(Rathis norvegicus
) are a constant human companion, these species are 
simultaneously found in other anthropogenic landscapes and in the wild. Some species - 
earthen rats (Nesokia indica), muskrat 
(Ondatra zhibetica),
a number of species of bats 
(Chiroptera), etc. - quickly adapt to man-made landscapes and human structures. The main 
protected natural areas and IBA zones is presented in the table below:
