This study, focusing in the marginal and poor mountain areas of the eastern part of Tajikistan and southern part of Kyrgyz after the 1991 independence from the former Soviet Union, clarified the status of the consumption of natural resources such as large herbivores and shrub trees, examined the transformation of land use (especially, summer and winter pastures) and the status of the primitive tourism, and identified the increased wolf-livestock conflict. Further, this study discussed about possibilities in the development of geo-ecotourism for sustainable use or conservation of the natural resources.
