The markhor, or screw-horned goat (Capra falconeri), is an iconic and ecologically significant species that inhabits mountainous regions of Central and South Asia, including Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
Classified as a species “near threatened” in 2014, the markhor is listed in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and has been included in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) since 1992.
“The greatest threats to the survival of the markhor are habitat loss and illegal hunting, including poaching,” says Behruz Abdushukurov, coordinator at Falcon Hunting Solutions.
In addition to its ecological value, the markhor is a species of economic importance, contributing to local economies and conservation initiatives. Protecting the markhor and its natural habitat is both an ecological imperative and a valuable opportunity to strengthen regional economies, promote conservation efforts, and foster sustainable tourism and economic growth. Moreover, such conservation efforts have a positive impact on the broader ecosystem.
P.S. The Bukhara markhor is native to Uzbekistan. The video was filmed at a hunting reserve in the Surkhandarya region in November 2024.
