Wildlife Awareness In Pakistan

Happy World Pangolin Day!

Did you know that pangolins are an important indicator of ecosystem health? As they are highly sensitive to change, a decline in their populations signals ecological problems like deforestation, poor soil condition, and pollution. This insectivore digs up soil while looking for food, enriching the soil with oxygen and contributing to overall soil fertility and plant growth. They are also very important for seed dispersal.

These critters have distinct scales on their bodies and a very unique appearance. However, this has caused them to become one of the most trafficked animals in the world!

Key Information:

🛡️ Only mammal with keratin scales (like human nails).

🔄 Rolls into a tight ball for defense.

👅 Tongue longer than body; attached near pelvis.

🐜 Eats millions of ants/termites yearly (natural pest control).

🌙 Nocturnal and solitary.

🌳 Some tree-dwelling, others burrow underground.

👃 Poor eyesight; strong sense of smell.

👶 Usually one baby; rides on mother’s tail.

🌍 8 species (4 in Africa, 4 in Asia).

⚠️ Most trafficked mammal; all species threatened.

Plant a tree this monsoon 🌳 — cool the Earth, shelter wildlife, and purify the air.

Let's grow green together! 🌿💚

خانزېب صېب خپل کتاب (شتمنه پختونخوا) کې ليکي

"پاکستان د‌ نړۍ پۀ کچ کې د ځنګلو پۀ ختمولو کې دوېم نمبر دے
يوه اونه پۀ کال کې شپګ ټنه کاربن ډائ اکسائيډ جذب کوي او اووۀ ټنه آکسيجن خارج کوي او پاکستان کې هر کال 67500 اېکړ ځنګل پۀ غېر قانوني توګه ختمولې کيګي"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ځنګلې ختمولو کې زياتره حصه د پختونخوا ده او د‌ پختنو ځنګلو ته‌ پنجاب‌‌ کې کارخانې جوړې دي او څۀ پختانۀ پخپله وم خپل ضروريات پوره کولو د‌ پاره خپلې ځنګلی ختموي
د پختونخوا ځنګلې کټ کولو پۀ وجه نن پختونخوا صوبه بارانونو د کم والي سره نېغ پۀ نېغه مخ ده،
اوس پختانۀ پخپله ولې داسې کوي؟ پختونخوا خو خپل د‌ ضرورت نه زيات کېس پېدا کوي خو بيا وم مونږ خپل ضروريات پوره کولو د پاره پۀ غېر قانوني توګه خپلې ځنګلی کټ کوو ولې؟
دا ځکه چې زمونږ پۀ خپله خاوره پۀ خپلو وسائلو خپل اختيار نيشته او د پختونخوا ګېس د پائپ لائن پۀ زړيعه پنجاب ته وړلې شوې دے د پنجاب کورونه او کارخانې په آبادې دي او پختونخوا د پسماندګۍ خکار شوې ده.
اوس د دې مسلې حل څۀ دے مونږ پۀ خپلو خاوره خپل اختيار څنګه واخلو؟
د دې قامي اولسي مسلې حل مونږ سره سياسي تګ لاره ده چې يوازيني "عوامي نېشنل ګوند" خپل دور حکومت کې اتلسم آئيني ترميم تر مخه صوبائ خودمختاري (په خپله خاوره خپل اختيار) ګټلی ده خو له بده مرغه تېر ديارلس کالو نه پۀ پختونخوا داسې خلک مسلت کړلې شوې دے چې هغو د اتلسم آئيني ترميم نامه قدرې نۀ اخلي او نۀ يې تر نن ورځې پورې چرته په خبره کړې ده،
د پختون قام په سياست کې غېر سنجيده کېدل او يا دوي غېر سياسي کول نور وم د‌ تباهۍ پۀ لار بوتلل دي

د پختون قام د نن حالاتو جائزه پخپله واخلۍ او فېصله وکړۍ چې سياسي مېدان کې اصل کې د‌ چاسره تګ پکار دے.

Invasive Alien Species pose a major threat to 🇪🇺native plants and animals as they:
⚠️ are a major cause of biodiversity loss
📉 negatively impact the economy
🩺 affect human health

Ayubia National Park in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is receiving increased attention as officials and activists come together to safeguard its unique ecosystems and biodiversity. The collaborative effort aims to address environmental threats, enhance conservation measures, and promote sustainable practices to preserve the park’s rich flora and fauna.

√ Native plants are well-suited to the local climate, soil, and weather conditions, requiring less water, fertilizer, and pesticides.

√ Native plants provide essential food and habitat for local wildlife, including birds, butterflies, and pollinators.

√ Their deep root systems help prevent erosion, improve soil structure, and enhance nutrient cycling.

√ Once established, native plants require less maintenance, such as watering, pruning, and pest control, compared to non-native species.

√ Native plants are typically more drought-resistant, helping to conserve water, especially in arid regions.

√ Native species are naturally more resistant to local pests and diseases, reducing the need for chemical treatments.

√ Planting native species helps maintain the region’s ecological and cultural heritage.

√ Native plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, improving air quality.

√ By sequestering carbon, native plants contribute to reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

√ Over time, the reduced need for water, fertilizers, and pesticides makes native plants a cost-effective choice for landscaping.

"Few plants self-pollinate: the vast majority depend on animals, wind or water for reproduction. Besides bees and other insects, a wide range of different animals can also be pollinators."

Money Over Lives?

"Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, and the last stream poisoned will we realize we cannot eat money."

This image hits me hard, reminding me of this old proverb ..

We need to rethink our priorities!

آج لوگوں کو بہت گرمی محسوس ہو رہی ہے ، کب تک اے سی ہم کو سہارا دیں گے، آج پاکستان میں 200کروڑ درختوں کی ضرورت ہے...
درجہ حرارت تھوڑی دیر میں 45 ° C سے 49 ° C اور 55 ° C سے 60 ° C تک پہنچ جاتا ہے...
انسانوں کے لیے 56 ڈگری سینٹی گریڈ میں زندہ رہنا مشکل ہو جائے گا۔ ہمیں پہلے ہی درخت لگانا ہوں گے...

درخت آپ کے ماحول کو آلودگی سے پاک رکھیں گے اور آپ کو مالی طور پر خوشحال بننے میں بھی مدد کریں گے.....
