Endangered Species In Pakistan

Endangered Species In Pakistan:

                                                                       Due to human activities, the biodiversity in Pakistan is facing a great loss. Some endangered species are Indus Dolphin, Marco Polo Sheep and Houbara Bustard.

Indus Dolphin:

                             According to WWF-P only 600 animals of the species of indus dolphin are left today in the Indus River. The population of this species declined due to water pollution, poaching and destruction of habitat.

Marco Polo Sheep:

                                      Marco Polo sheep are mostly found in the Khunjerab National Park and nearby areas. Their numbers have been rapidly decreasing in the last two decades and WWF-P has started projects for its conservation.

Houbara Bustard:

                                    This bird flies to Pakistan in wintet season from former Soviet Terriotry and settles in  Cholistan and Thar deserts. The decline in this population is due to hunting by foreigners and destruction of its habitats.
