Abstract
The article proposes a set of 8 indicators allowing to compare faunal diversity, the degree of its conservation, economic importance and endemism. Through the system of indicators it is possible to assess the importance of different regions of the country for fauna conservation, to develop measures for its protection and sustainable use. The assessment of the importance of different territories of Uzbekistan for the conservation of faunal diversity of mammals is demonstrated on the example of two administrative regions of the country. It is recommended to analyse the current state of the fauna and trends in its changes using a set of indicators on a regular basis and in parallel with fauna monitoring.
