The Afghan Mountains semi-desert ecoregion (WWF ID: PA1301) covers three disconnected interior valleys in the north of the mountains of Afghanistan. These valleys are arid (250–300 mm/year of precipitation), and covered mostly in thorny shrubs. Overgrazing by livestock has put pressure on the grasses and the wild animals dependent on them.[1][2][3][4]
