South Tajikistan, as a specific region, is the place of origin of several endemic and relict species most of which are experiencing pressure on the part of humankind and are almost extinct. This is why the problem of preservation of rare and endangered species listed in the Red Book of Tajikistan is of vital importance. Anthropogenic pressure over nature is increasing everywhere. People are oppressing plants leaving them fewer territories with untouched natural complexes. This is why the issue of protection of rare and endangered plants through conduction of surveys and raising awareness of rural inhabitants especially in South Tajikistan, is so important.
