Tajikistan is a landlocked country sharing borders with Kyrgyz Republic, Uzbekistan, China, and Afghanistan. With mountains occupying about 93 percent of the terrain, Tajikistan is a mountainous country with diverse topography. The country’s vulnerability to earthquakes, floods, droughts, avalanches, landslides, and mudslides can be attributed to its topographical characteristics. Its glacier-dependent river basins, fragile mountain ecosystems, and isolated forests with mountainous and riverine terrain, make it prone to landslides and land degradation.
