Abstract

The Pamir mountains are a classical region where combined mountain agriculture and nomadism are the primary pastoral strategies for the utilization of natural re-sources. Similar ecological frame conditions at the upper level of vegetation cover can be observed. In contrast to the rather homogeneous appearance of this aspect of ecology survival conditions and pastoral strategies significantly differ when time scale and political systems are concerned. The aim of this paper is to set present-day pastoral strategies in perspective over time and space. The latter addresses devel-opments across the borders where countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajiki-stan, the People’s Republic of China offer a varied spectrum of legislation, infrastruc-ture development and regional planning. Yak-keeping is the focus of comparison and the special features of this sector will illustrate the range of variation.
