Pashtun biologists botanists question

[Qami]

Does any of You know any good local scholars on the flora and fauna, ecology of the deserts in South Afghanistan (Registan, Dasht-i-Margo..)Anybody working in that field or is research impossible due to safety and poverty reasons?
Apparently all bigger cities have universities in Afghanistan.
Any advice on that topic?

That's a really good question Arvepasht .....I actially know basically nothing about the flora or fauna of Afghanistan except maybe a few particular things from my relatives.

As far as plants, I know we're known for grape, apple, apricot and pomegranate cultivation but that's about it and I only know this because I have relatives that work in that industry. ....we also have a very rare species of melon that grows in Afghanistan but not sure what it's called in English
