Flora. Uzbekistan’s flora comprises of more than 3,700 species of plants. 20% of plants are endemic ones (can not be found in other places); major part of them grow in mountains. Flora of steppes and deserts consists of unique bushes.

In the saline areas of Uzbekistan grow willow, saline, saline, wormwood, sarisazan, fish, and in the rocky areas grow sparse, black bay, incense.
Wooden, bushy, grassy plants are well developed in low plains. Tugays feature reeds and kendyrs.
Landscape of submountainous plains is characterized by grass, there are no trees, and bushes may be found along the water flows.
In the river valleys of the desert region of Uzbekistan (Amudarya, Syrdarya, Zarafshan, Chirchik, etc.) there are tugai forests. plants such as flour, chakanda (oblepixa) grow.

The most valuable wood species - Zerafshani archa grows in lower mountains. Deciduous species such as maple, hawthorn, various sorts of wild apple-trees, pistachio-tree, walnut-tree, birch, willow, poplar, cherry-tree are also widespread. Lower mountains are rich in bushes: honeysuckle, barberry, dog-rose, meadow-sweet, bushes of wild grape.

• Grasses are also very diverse: muscat sage, rhubarb, tulip, Pskem onion (precious herb). Middle mountains feature dog-rose and other bushes. Only 30% of high mountains are covered with plants. Mostly tipchak grows here.

Fauna.

Like flora, Uzbekistan’s fauna is also very diverse. One can find many representatives of Asian fauna. Among them are: mammals (wolf, big-eared hedgehog, vixen, hare - toloy, tortoise, djeyran, saygak, wild boar, spiral horny billy-goat, mountain sheep, badger, stone marten, bear, snow leopard, ermine, Siberian mountain billy-goat, lamellitoothed rat, jacal, Bukharan deer

There are a lot of tortoises and lizards among the reptiles. Among the lizards live round-headed lizards, sand lizards, lizards, agama lizards. There are many snakes, such as the rattlesnake, the rattlesnake, the venomous rattlesnake, and the rattlesnake.

As a result of the development of steppes and deserts in Central Asia, the development of the mining industry in the mountainous and foothill regions, resulting in changes in environmental conditions and the lack of strict discipline in hunting. damaged wildlife. Many animals have become extinct. This situation requires the protection of nature, including wildlife.

The Aydar Lake is part of the man-made Aydar-Arnasay system of lakes, which covers an area of 4,000 square kilometres (1,500 mi²). This system includes 3 brackish water lakes (Aydar Kul, Arnasay and Tuzkan) located in the saline depressions of the south-eastern Kyzyl Kum (now in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan). The lakes are the unintentional byproduct of Soviet planning.
Up to the middle of the last century the Arnasay lowland remained a dry Salt pan during most of the year. Only in Spring, in the lowlands, would the small, ephemeral Lake Tuzkan glisten briefly, disappearing in the hot weather.

The Chirchiq or Chirchik is a river of Uzbekistan. It is 155 km in length and it has an area of 14,900 km ². The river is formed at the confluence of the Chatkal River and Pskem River. It flows through abouut 30 km of canyon in the upper reaches. Below the valley widens and eventually joins the Syr Darya.
