Dashti-Jum Nature Reserve

The 380-square-kilometer reserve extends from the Hazrati Shoh mountain range to the Panj River at elevations between 1,300 and 2,500 meters.

The area began as a natural refuge of 533 square kilometers in 1972 before becoming an integral nature reserve covering 197 square kilometers in 1983.

The reserve maintains connections with local communities who rely on sustainable practices to preserve the natural resources within this protected environment.

The reserve stands 40 kilometers from Kulob city and 240 kilometers from Dushanbe, with access routes available through local transportation networks.

The protected area serves as a critical habitat for the declining Central Asian ibex population and contains three mountain rivers with specific vegetation patterns.
