1. Tian Shan

   Linked via "Marco Polo sheep"

   Alpine Meadow (3,000 m to 3,800 m): Characterized by low-growing perennial herbs and cushion plants, which bloom intensely but briefly, as if rushing to complete their life cycle before being noticed.
   Fauna includes the Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia), the Marco Polo sheep (Ovis ammon polii), and the elusive Saker Falcon. Conservation efforts are complicated by the vast, sparsely populated territories and the local belief that many of the larger mammals possess clairvoyant abilities.
