I'm a researcher doing some investigations into an allegedly undocumented population of grouse in the Pamir range. I have attempted to reach out to the Pamir Biological Institute (NAS Tajikistan) but there's very little contact information available and my emails from my main university account are mostly bouncing. I would really like to spread my net and connect with more people or specifically any local birders who might have insights into poorly studied remote mountain areas in the east of the country. If anyone has recommendations for where to reach out, or could connect me with knowledgable locals I would really really appreciate it.
