Wildlife scope in Pakistan?

Question

Wildlife scope in Pakistan?

Answer 1

"The wide variety of landscapes and climates in Pakistan allows for a wide variety of wild animals and birds. The forests range from coniferous alpine and subalpine trees such as spruce, pine, and deodar cedar in the northern mountains to deciduous trees such as the mulberry-type Shisham in the Sulaiman range in the south. The western hills have juniper and tamarisk as well as coarse grasses and scrub plants. Along the coast are mangrove forests which form much of the coastal wetlands.

In the south, there are crocodiles in the murky waters at the mouth of the Indus River whilst on the banks of the river, there are boars, deer, porcupines, and small rodents. In the sandy scrublands of central Pakistan are found jackals, hyenas, wild cats, panthers, and leopards while the clear blue skies abound with hawks, falcons, and eagles. In the southwestern deserts are rare Asiatic cheetahs. In the northern mountains are a variety of endangered animals including Marco Polo sheep, Urial sheep, Markhor and Ibex goats, black and brown Himalayan bears, and the rare Snow Leopard. During August 2006, Pakistan donated an orphaned snow leopard cub called Leo to USA. Another rare species is the blind Indus River Dolphin of which there are believed to be about 1,000 remaining, protected in two major sanctuaries. In recent years the number of wild animals being killed for fur and leather trading led to a new law banning the hunting of wild animals and birds and the establishment of several wildlife sanctuaries and game reserves."

It's range is limited by geography.

Answer 3

If you are talking about whether a career related to Wildlife conservation/research is of importance in Pakistan, then there are two things to consider:

If you are a PhD (preferably from USA,Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand) in fields like zoology,geology, etc. you will for sure sooner or later land a government job which will be well paid and so forth.

BUT..

The job conditions will be much more harsher than they would be in countries like Canada and USA. This is due to Pakistan being a poor country and the harsh geography and climate.
