Ways to Save Pakistan's Biodiversity (9)

But there is still hope. There is some time left to make an impact and to ensure the wildlife biodiversity of Pakistan grows and flourishes even more. All the consequences and negative impacts can be halted, but only if we act vigilantly and take some serious measures. Some of the most easy yet effective ways to save Pakistan's biodiversity can be:



Giving Significant Locations The 'National Park' Status: National Parks are specially allotted areas dedicated to the conservation and habitation of the wildlife of a particular country. Natural parks don't have to be really big and decorated, but the name itself provides a special protocol to the place. Giving widely populated biomes the status of a 'National Park' will help increase its security in such a way that hunters will be terrified to enter land specifically owned by a strict government., and thus sanctuaries and breeding centers for vulnerable animals can be provided. Also, reserves and medical centers can be established for animals. This will help restore their population as national parks don't have to be artificial.   

Reforestation and Afforestation: First of all, trees shouldn't be cut down from a place with a high animal population. Second, if for some reason it is necessary, new trees should be planted in places which were previously barren so they can be utilized for animal rehabilitation. Once used, the land should be restored to its previous condition by planting more trees so that the health of the ecosystem can stay in check and no animals can be deprived of their homes.  

Controlling Pollution: Large industries and companies often dump their waste into water bodies as proper disposal of it is an expensive and difficult task. Funds should be allotted for its proper disposal and if its not possible, then filtration and purification should occur and the waste should b utilized elsewhere. Also, sewage lines should be properly managed and shouldn't be directly into bodies of water. The use of plastics and other non-biodegradable materials should be avoided as they harm the environment and wildlife a great deal.

Prohibiting Hunting/Poaching: Hunting and poaching should be restricted as a sport due to the immense of biodiversity it results in. Fines should be put if someone breaks the law and bans should be imposed.

Spreading Awareness: Using means like this blog, we can easily spread awareness to help highlight the issue regarding the loss of wildlife biodiversity of Pakistan.

These threats have started to arouse fear in the majority of people that our country's biodiversity may get wiped out. Such threats are a lot in number, but a few of them put nature at great risk. They are listed and described in detail below. Illegal Hunting/Poaching/Fishing: Illegal hunting is extremely common in Pakistan. In the wetlands and savannahs of Pakistan, hunting is a popular sport carried out by the rich. Special birds such as Chukors, Whistling Ducks and Kites are shot in large numbers, and the hunters don't give a thought about their sport's impact on the environment. As a result, the food chain is disturbed and thus insects such as locusts are rising. The so called 'game birds' ' populations are rapidly declining, and many migratory birds also

  Forests make up less than 5% of all the land on Pakistan. They aren't really common, but the tropical and semi-arid climate allows the forests to contribute a lot to the biodiversity of the country. Locations: Forests are present in the area between Sindh and Balochistan, Western Balochistan, Central and Northern Punjab, and well as a large area of KPK and FATA. Features: The forests are hot and humid with plenty of rainfall and vegetation. The food chain is active a lot over there. Flora and Fauna: A mixture of tropical, deciduous and coniferous trees are present in the forests of Pakistan, depending on the climate and altitude. Oak, birch, willow, chestnut, evergreen, etc... trees are present in large quantities while a variety of animals such as wild cats, foxes and monkeys reside in them too. Hummingbirds, parrots and hawks as well as owls make nests in the tall trees while deer and cattle rely on the plants to survive. Snow leopards and bears also take shelter in the forests
