Happy to have played a role in rescuing a rare Brown Fish Owl who was found by Mr Raza. It is now in the able custody of @WildlifeBoard

We don't have many books on Pakistan's ecology. That being said, finding the published ones are not less than a challenge. These two booklets by the late Z. B. Mirza would be a bit of an academic reading I suppose but something I always looked forward too. – at Mingaora, Pakistan

State Lands of the Eastern deserts and Western hilly tract of Sindh are vast areas. The natural vegetation growing there is gift of Mother Nature. It is protective shield against desertification and impacts of climate change, refuge for wildlife and camouflage of strategic importance. Coordinated steps is need of time.

کنٹینرز والے ٹرالر مالکان اور معزز ٹرانسپورٹر حضرات سے گزارش ہے کہ اپنی گاڑیوں کے ڈرائیور حضرات کو ھدایات جاری کریں کہ صوبہ سندھ کے ریگستانی اور پہاڑی علاقوں سے غیر قانونی کاٹے گئے پیلو، جنڈ، کریڑ اور فراش کی لکڑی کو اپنے کنٹینرز، ٹرکس اور دیگر گاڑیوں پر لوڈ نہ کریں۔ ایسا کرنا غیرقانونی عمل ہے۔
اس امر میں کوئی شک نہیں کہ ٹرانسپورٹرز ان غیرقانونی کٹائی والے مافیاز کا ھرگز حصہ نہیں۔ اگر کوئی لکڑی چور کسی ٹرانسپورٹ گاڑی میں چوری کا مال لوڈ گا تو قوانین کا اطلاق نہ صرف لکڑی چور بلکہ اس گاڑی پر لازم ہوجاتا ہے۔ لہذا ٹرانسپورٹرز سے گزارش ہے کہ کسی قانونی پیچیدگی سے بچنے کے لیے مذکورہ تحفظ یافتہ درختوں کی لکڑیاں اپنی کارگو گاڑی میں لوڈ نہ کریں اور دیگر لکڑی لوڈ کرتے وقت متعلقہ آدمی سے قانونی اجازت نامہ و متعلقہ کاغذات ضرور طلب کریں بصورت دیگر ایسا غیرقانونی لوڈ نہ اُٹھائیں.
واضح رہے کہ سندھ ھائی کورٹ نے آئینی پٹیشن نمبر 3287ـ2022 میں مورخہ 30/09/2024 کو جاری آرڈر میں صوبہ سندھ میں درختوں کے کاٹنے پر پابندی لگائی۔ مزید برآں کسی ناگزیر ضرورت کے صورت میں مذکورہ آرڈر کے پیرا نمبر 09 میں طریقہ وضع کیا گیا ہے۔ لکڑی کے تاجران ھدایات پر عمل کریں۔

Bird Alert 📷
Africa-tagged Whimbrel (code A2) has migrated from Reunion Islands off the coast of Madagascar to @urban_clifton , Karachi as of 13 July 2026.
Such urban hotspots provide shorebirds a safe place to feed, stage and revive during this trek of their migration journey.

Looking back at my eBird stats, I’ve yet to break into the top 20. Every bird & most birders, I’ve met in this spacetime has had a positive impact on me. Until there is air in my lungs, can't stop chasing birdsss!

There was a time, Pakistan used to host this species in small numbers during winter, mainly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and occasionally in Baluchistan.
Great views of 17 bustards on the plains today, ended up being there 2 hours longer than planned as the rough road popped a tyre. Thankfully, replaced by a mobile unit and on our way! @bustardgroup

Main reason to visit Abd al-Kuri was to see the endemic Sparrow which due to the island’s remoteness has been seen by very few birders. We found c.30 in the main village on the morning of 2nd day after not been able to find any the evening we arrived.A few on the hillsides later.

Where else in the world, would you see four GIBs in one frame - 17 Humpback Dolphins in a 26 second video - 4 Snow Leopards wading through Korakaram snows
Happy Earth Hour 2026 from Pakistan

Rare sight to find a (critically endangered) GIB and a desert jackal casually crossing each other in the wild
(this is somewhere deep inside the Cholistan desert - one of the best biodiversity hotspots in Pakistan)

Like this video of rare Ladakh Urial in Astor - it's shaky as my heart pounded & hands shivered - from excitement & steep 4 hrs climb to 11000 ft in minus 6 C
Originality of excruciating human effort will always beat AI

Close to 8126 m high Nanga Parbat in Astor GB,there is a steep nullah with perilous slopes,where I watched a record 30 Ladakh Urial yesterday

Great news for bird watchers, a Mourning Wheatears spotted in Damaan plains of DIKHAN. Don't know about the rest of Pakistan but in this zone it's the 1st recorded spotting.
(3) Majority of these birds will end up dying since they are not suited for the captive life, not to mention the fact that this is illegal in the first place.
Kindly share widely, hope this messages reaches somewhere!
