Wildlife of Pakistan

Pakistan hosts a wide range of ecosystems types and associated biological diversity due to its unique geographical and climatic conditions. There are naturally also snow covered notable peaks, permanent snowfields, lush green as well as barren mountains, extensive forests, irrigated plains, riverine tracts, sand dunes and deserts and coastal areas. For the conservation of such essential assets, a national government declares some specific areas as the protected areas. Protected areas are those where the representative ecosystems, fauna and flora are properly protected and carefully maintained under the natural conditions.
