The article is devoted to studying natural reserves of raw materials of the endemic of Southwestern Pamir-Alai Ferula tadshikorum in the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan. to excessive harvesting, the population of F. tadshikorum in the Republic of Uzbekistan is in a critical condition; the area of thickets and reserves of raw materials continues to decline. Compared with the indicators of 2020–2023, the presence of individuals in the monitoring sites (10×10 m2) of F. tadshikorum in the territory of Kashkadarya region revealed a decrease in the total number of individuals by 56.1%. Accordingly, these indicators correlate with operational individuals since by 2023, the maturity of the plants was reduced by 65.3% and operational by 71%. These indicators in the Surkhandarya region were reduced from 57.3% to 75%. Compared to resource indicators in 2015, in 2023, the area of commercial thickets decreased by 96% and the stock of raw materials decreased by 83%. Indicators of resource value F. tadshikorum in Uzbekistan is a biological reserve, and these reserves are not subject to exploitation today. Currently, the populations of the species are mainly preserved in the border zone, or the neutral zone of the state border of the republic and in some areas of forestry.
