Abstrakt: The authors present a critique of the article "Globalization of the Cashmere Market and the Decline of Large Mammals in Central Asia," published in a 2013 issue. They talk about conservation dynamics and how the rise in goat population and the consequent decline in wildlife abundance cannot be reduced to single drivers. Other comments include the failure to analyze climatic signals, the effect of poaching and low-quality habitats, and economic drivers.
