As years of warfare, drought, and new settlements have taken a toll on the nationâs biodiversity resources, UNEP has partnered with the Government of Afghanistan to assess the status of these precious ecosystems and determine how best to promote their sustainable conservation.s years of warfare, drought, and new settlements have taken a toll on the nationâs biodiversity resources, UNEP has partnered with the Government of Afghanistan to assess the status of these precious ecosystems and determine how best to promote their sustainable conservation.
The creation of nature reserves is the primary means used by conservation biologists protect biodiversity. However, unless key ecological processes are protected within the reserves, it may be difficult to maintain biodiversity over the long-term.Consumption of woody vegetation by large herbivores such as moose and deer is one such key ecological process.he striking effects of moose browsing activity on Viburnum alnifolium and Abies balsamea has led to greater interest in the effect of this herbivore on community dynamics. Two additional grant proposals have been submitted (one funded, one not funded) that have built upon this critical ecological process.
