But the logic of these hunts now make sense. “It is considered a grave wildlife offence,” said Ghaznavi, punishable under the The enormous incentive for the communities from their share of the trophy hunting licence means they work hard to protect the animal. Let Nawaz and Zardari buy out all the the Markhor licenses, without killing any,as they looted the nation.Each time a Markhor is killed, a candle should be lighted and put infront of PM and President house.There are better ways to raise money than to kill the lands great wildlife@atif khan, your comments makes no sense for being contrary to the ground realities. Markhor is Pakistan’s national animal.

local roads, schools, dispensaries or maybe a drainage system etc.bustard and markhror are allowed to be hunted for money, how do u stop pakistanis from doing the same in law holds little fear in these parts of pakistanthis animal is an endangered species wow how can yhe government let this happen.

“The bidding process is transparent after which the amount is deposited to the government account by the hunter. Those who are allowed to be hunted, are already out of breeding cycle and will not be hunted by predators as well, but will soon die naturally anyway.

Talking on condition of anonymity, over phone from their villages, some community elders said it could not have happened without the collusion of the wildlife department.Taking exception to “such sweeping statements,” Mehmood Ghaznavi, the conservator with the government of G-B’s Parks and Wildlife Department, said the disbursement of the 80% of share was so clear that no government official could rob from it.


Even better, some of the funds collected are used in conservation efforts to protect the animal while others are directed into developing the local community which incentivises them to keep the species alive. As for the animals, the older male's stop breeding and at the same time don't allow any younger male's near the females hence become a hindrance in the reproduction cycle. The villagers also pay part of the salary of six wildlife guards hired for the project, said Hussain.Once the fight over money is resolved, hopefully in a couple of months, Hussain said, they will first pay off the money they owe the guards and then to the fourth village. When are Pakistanis going to wake up, speak up? Markhor population has actually been on the rise in Pakistan. @Zeeshandxb, Perhaps in rehabilitation for left over Markhors....Well, for those who are saying that it's illegal to hunt an endangered specie kindly go & check the rules of legal hunting at national wild life website.


Absolutely horrible.Should be a calculated one, rate of population increase must be much greater than the hunting permits allowed.The animal looks magnificent. During the gunja regime, ithe onus was on strengthening personal relationship and in Naya Pakistan it seems to be generating foreign exchange....bravoThe animal looks so beautiful in the wild, not sure how could one hunt it and call it as trophy..So rich can get away with anything. It is a shame that it is allowed to be hunted at all.This is actually really good, initiatives such as this make these animals a valuable commodity to care for. @Patriot, well said. Will we change our national animal or tell our children that we sold them out? Who are we to use our "intelligence" to exterminate other living species.

You are right because of such senseless killings with or without permits over the past decade, has drastically reduced numbers of this endangered species.

Imagine paying a measly $10 just to look and appreciate these animals on a safari like trip ?From the picture it is hard to make out who is the animal.Very very sad. The money paid by hunters helps saving the young breeding ones.There are always better and more decent ways of making money. Can Pakistan go beyond chemical pesticides for locust control? The govt. Totally against hunting animals just for fun. Alas!! With strict community based hunting projects introduced, the Markhor is making a comeback. Shame on these officials.Wow... we were in dire need of dollars and lo dollars we got. Over the course of a decade, their population grew by an incredible 20%.

The ban was then replaced by controlled trophy hunting, a programme often cited as a huge Aware of the conflicts within communities, Ghaznavi said the government wants to help resolve them. What were stories of markhor being spotted deep in the mountains, have turned into actual markhor sightings, regularly from the roadside. The Community council then sits and decides where to spend the money i.e. “We are very happy with the increase in numbers especially when you compare it to 1,500-2,000 [surviving markhor] in 2001,” he said, giving credit to the conservation and protective measures taken by the villagers. Live and let live.This type of hunting should be banned the wildlife in Pakistan is limited due primarily to the pressures of population.The bustard in the southern areas of Pakistan are becoming rare due to unlimited hunting by Arab royalty --- please this is a natural source of beauty that is irreplaceable, the majestic markhor exists nowhere else!
