Abstract
The faunal diversity of Bamyan Province appears fairly limited due to its high altitude, cold climate, low rainfall levels and ecological uniformity. Just 25% of Afghan mammals, 30% of birds and 3% of the country's reptiles are thought to occur in Bamiyan. However, as with all of Afghanistan, it is a land waiting to be discovered. The publication (published in French by Ceredaf), is available for subscription and download here, and discusses the potential for further zoological discoveries in Bamiyan.
