Description

Tajikistan focuses their sustainable development efforts on reducing poverty, economic growth, and conservation of biodiversity. The Markhor goat is an indicator species to the country being on the IUCN red list and its high tourist value. SDG1, 8, and 15 are relevant to Tajikistan's current efforts in conservation of the Markhor goat. While the country prioritizes conserving species like the Markhor, they must also focus on economic growth to reduce poverty through actions like agricultural expansion into natural spaces. Tajikistan aims to integrate ecosystem and biodiversity values into economic growth planning by 2020 which could protect animals at risk, such as the Markhor, while also developing where necessary.
