Description
The northern part of Tadzhikistan is under severe natural conditions due to its high altitudes. The local inhabitants can find only livestock farming as their subsistence. Sheep, goat, and yak are their domestic animals. In 1920, the region called Tadzhikistan was integrated into the Soviet Union. Before the Soviet era, they had kept their pure nomadic life and just traveled from one pasture to another in a group. After having been incorporated into the Soviet Union in the 1920's, the local nomads were forced to settle down in the highlands, over 3,000 meters above sea level, then their nomadism had transformed into "a certain type of transhumance." There was a rapid transformation from nomadic pastoralism to livestock farming under the Soviet regime. The transition period of transformation that Central Asia went through after the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union diverged greatly from the initial optimism that surrounded it. Livestock farming became a matter of individual enterprise. However, the Republic of Tadzhikistan still faces economic poverty. Today, Kara-kul is shared by two types of the transhumance; ascending transhumance and horizontal.
