Men collecting teresken, a shrub for house heating, near Murghab, eastern Tajikistan. Particularly after the fall of the Soviet union, deforestation for domestic fuel sources has had disastrous consequences for the environment in many of the Central Asian nations. Further removal of shrubs like teresken cause for weak soil and desertification.
