Behram Baloch:
The Balochistan Wildlife Department has dismantled illegal hunting pits in Gwadar and Ormara’s Taloband plains, targeting the poaching of rare birds like peregrine falcons and sea hawks.
The operation, led by Assistant Conservator Zahiduddin and Sub-Divisional Officer Ismat Ali Dagarzai, involved a thorough inspection by Deputy Ranger Wildlife Sanaullah Baloch. Multiple pits used by poachers were destroyed. Game watchers Shahnawaz and Khaliq Dad assisted by identifying and monitoring these sites.
These pits, often occupied for months, pose a significant threat to endangered bird species and the region’s ecological balance. The Wildlife Department has vowed to continue anti-poaching efforts, which have earned praise from environmentalists and local communities.
This initiative underscores the department’s commitment to preserving Balochistan’s unique wildlife heritage.
