Birir
Valley Coniferous Forests
Situated in
the NWFP, the Birir Valley is a
representative of an Alpine Dry
Steppe ecosystem. Known locally
as the Deodar Chilghoza Oak Forest,
it has the potential for sustainable
chilghoza harvesting. A study will
establish the status of this forest
with the aim of linking it with
chilghoza forest conservation initiatives
in the Suleiman Range.
