Need to protect precious birds in Margalla stressed

Islamabad Property:

Precious species of birds present in abundance in Margalla Hills – adjacent to the federal capital – are facing severe threats to their existence.
The romanticism of Margalla Hills seemed to have attracted a large number of birds, as about 460 different species of birds are reported to be settled there.
One can hardly witness such a large variety of birds anywhere else in the country in a limited area, having a combination of many ecological components, which makes it a unique location.
Birds, which play an important role in enhancing the beauty of the nature, are precious assets, the safety of which should be among the top priorities of the authorities and the locals alike. But unfortunately, no attention is being paid to safeguard this asset.

Birds like chief pheasant, monal and alexandrine parakeet, present in abundance in Margalla Hills, are facing threats and there is a dire need to preserve these species of birds,” said Safan Shahab Ahmad, an environment expert.
He said that pheasant and monal were among the most precious species and more parks should be established to preserve them, besides putting a ban on cutting of trees to save their nests. He urged the citizens, civil society and the government to make joint efforts to protect the environment at the hills.
