There were about 40-45 Bukhara deer (Cervus elaphus bactrianus) remaining in Amu Darya State Reserve in the 1990s. Since many plant habitats (e.g. saxaul, tugai, pistachio and juniper forests) have been significantly reduced and degraded in the recent past, it is likely that the conservation status of their flora has also deteriorated in the medium term. The Asiatic wild ass, for example, has apparently not declined further since 2001.
