Band-e-Amir- the protected wildlife are ibex, urial, and Afghan snow finch. The park could be the beginning of the creation of an Afghan Protected Area System that may include the transboundary area in the Pamirs shared by Afghanistan, Taijkistan, Pakistan, and China. Funding for creating the park came from the United States Agency for Conservation Development and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), and the WCS conducted preliminary wildlife surveys, and helped to identify and delineate the boundaries of the park. They, also helped the government to hire, train local rangers, developed the management plan for the park, and assistace to the government to craft the laws authorizing the park's creation.
