Coverage
and references
This collection covers the Kashmir Valley and surrounding mountains. It brings together published regional inventories and selected wildlife accounts. It is not yet a complete list of all native species; birds, other insects, reptiles, amphibians and additional plant groups need further coverage.
Native status follows the cited regional evidence. Records without a separate native-status assessment remain labelled “Recorded.” Introduced and familiar planted species are kept separately. Seasonal wild birds can be native without being resident throughout the year.
Plant names and ranks are matched to GBIF where a reliable species-level match is available. Unresolved names are flagged in their entries; source names and synonyms are retained for searching.
Images illustrate the named taxa and may have been taken outside Kashmir. Hangul uses a historical illustration. Expand “Classification & sources” for references, image credits and reuse licences. Compiled September 2026.
