The study aims to analyze the hotspots of Central Asia for effective efforts to create nature. Tulipa L. (Liliaceae) includes 148 species. Although Asia, which is its center, has 64 species, it is not significant in terms of safety measures and ecoregion and phytogeographical data. Results The Hissaro-Aloy open forest ecoregion was identified as the ecoregion where 40 species of tulips originated. The Fergana Valley phytogeographical district (Afghan-Turkestan region) was found to be the most favorable habitat for 24 species of tulips. We found that the load has a strong effect on the diversity of Tulipa species, and the higher the load, the greater the species richness or abundance.
