We take careful note of the widespread interest and shared enthusiasm among our network members regarding the Markhoor Trophy hunting event, valuing at PKR.65 million or $232,000. This incident, orchestrated by an American hunter on 16-12-23 at Thushi Conservancy Chitral, KP Pakistan, prompts us to delve into a critical examination of the broader perspective of animal sentience. It is imperative to acknowledge the intricate tapestry of their thoughts and emotions, especially during the rut/mating season, a crucial period for their complete satisfaction and comfortable breeding of the new generation.

The decision to allow trophy hunting during such a sensitive and emotional phase raises questions about how, why, and who sanctioned this activity. It extends beyond the killing of one Markhoor, potentially inflicting psychological damage on the emerging generation of these magnificent creatures.

When we contemplate animals' emotions, we cannot turn a blind eye to the distress caused to wild animals through commercial exploitation, often benefiting specific families of hunters and their collaborators within the wildlife department. Animals, including Markhoor, deserve more than mere survival; they deserve lives enriched with well-being.

Emphasizing biodiversity conservation and protection not only serves as a moral imperative but also attracts tourism, generating better income for the local community and contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This juncture marks an unprecedented enthusiasm to explore and understand animals' thoughts and feelings. Engage with the concept of animal sentience through rigorous scientific research that unequivocally substantiates its existence. Witness the transformative evolution of societal attitudes towards animals, transitioning from viewing them as commodities for human use to placing contemporary emphasis on their welfare.

Mountain Ecosystem and COP 28.

03/12/2023

International Mountain Day, celebrated annually on December 11th, serves as a global platform to highlight the importance of mountains in our lives. In 2023, the significance of this day is heightened as it aligns with both the ongoing efforts at COP 28, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, and the evolving landscape of mountain tourism. This convergence emphasizes the intricate interrelationship between sustainable mountain development, climate action, and the tourism industry.

Mountain Tourism and COP 28:
Mountain regions, with their unique ecosystems and diverse landscapes, have become popular destinations for tourists seeking adventure and tranquility. However, the surge in mountain tourism poses challenges to the delicate balance of these environments. COP 28 becomes a crucial arena for addressing these challenges, focusing on policies and agreements that promote sustainable practices in mountainous areas.

The impact of climate change is disproportionately felt in mountainous regions, evident through glacier melting, altered precipitation patterns, and increased natural disasters. COP 28 provides an opportunity for nations to collaborate on mitigating climate change effects in mountainous areas, ensuring the preservation of these vital ecosystems for future generations.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) play a pivotal role in this context, aligning with COP 28 objectives to address climate.
The designated theme for International Mountain Day 2023, "Harmony in Heights," encapsulates the essence of the intricate interplay between mountain tourism and COP 28. It underscores the imperative of achieving a harmonious equilibrium between human activities in mountain regions and the preservation of these delicate ecosystems. This thematic emphasis highlights the ongoing efforts to strike a balance that ensures the sustainable coexistence of thriving mountain tourism and the preservation of these invaluable natural landscapes.

Comprehensive Suggestions for COP28 - Addressing Climate Challenges in the Hindukush Region of Chitral, Pakistan
Dear COP28 Delegates,
I am writing to bring your attention to the critical climate challenges faced by the Hindukush region, specifically in Chitral, Pakistan. The Hindukush mountain range is not only a region of immense natural beauty but also one that is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. As representatives gathered at COP28, it is imperative that we collectively address the unique challenges faced by this region and work towards sustainable solutions. Here are comprehensive suggestions for your consideration:
1. Vulnerability Assessment and Early Warning Systems: Conduct a thorough vulnerability assessment to understand the specific risks faced by the Hindukush region. Establish and strengthen early warning systems to provide timely alerts for extreme weather events such as floods, avalanches, and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). Investing in advanced technology and communication infrastructure will be crucial for efficient dissemination of warnings.
2. Adaptation Strategies: Develop and implement region-specific adaptation strategies that take into account the unique geography and socio-economic conditions of Chitral. This may include promoting climate-resilient agriculture practices, introducing drought-resistant crop varieties, and implementing water management techniques to cope with changing precipitation patterns.
3. Ecosystem Conservation and Restoration: Prioritize the conservation and restoration of ecosystems in the Hindukush region, which is also the theme of the current year International Mountain Day 2023. The region is suffering with serious consequences of devastation over two decade and restoration of the damaged ecosystem of the mountains region is still hampered. Protecting forests, wetlands, and biodiversity not only contributes to carbon sequestration but also enhances the resilience of local communities. Encourage sustainable land-use practices that balance the needs of human populations with the preservation of natural habitats.
4. Water Resource Management: Address the challenges related to water scarcity and glacial melt in the region. Collaborate with local communities to implement sustainable water resource management practices. This may involve the construction of small-scale water reservoirs, rainwater harvesting systems, and the promotion of efficient irrigation methods.
5. Renewable Energy Transition: Support the transition to renewable energy sources in Chitral to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and decrease carbon emissions. Invest in the development of small-scale hydropower projects, solar energy systems, and other clean energy solutions that are suitable for the local context.
6. Community Engagement and Capacity Building: Empower local communities in Chitral through education and capacity-building initiatives. Foster community-based climate resilience projects and ensure that the knowledge and experiences of indigenous communities are incorporated into decision-making processes.
7. International Collaboration and Funding: Facilitate international collaboration to mobilize financial and technical support for climate action in the Hindukush region. Establish partnerships between governmental bodies, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector to implement sustainable development projects.
8. Monitoring and Evaluation: Implement a robust monitoring and evaluation system to assess the effectiveness of climate interventions in the region. Regularly review and update strategies based on emerging climate trends and evolving socio-economic conditions.
In conclusion, addressing the climate challenges in the Hindukush region of Chitral requires a holistic and collaborative approach. By incorporating these comprehensive suggestions into the COP28 agenda, we can contribute to the global effort to build a sustainable and resilient future for vulnerable regions around the world.
Thank you for your attention and commitment to addressing the urgent climate challenges faced by the Hindukush region.
Sincerely,
Syed Harir Shah
Chairman

In Chitral, the pursuit of Markhor Trophy Hunting reached a historic pinnacle as a remarkable bid of $212,000, equivalent to PKR 58,777,127, was extended for a single Markhor. This monumental moment transpired during a remarkable event conducted by M/S Mehran Safari in Sheri Sham, Chitral. It represents an unprecedented zenith in the annals of Markhor Trophy Hunting.

Further contributing to this extraordinary spectacle, M/S Zoon Safari placed the second-highest bid of $185,000, which translates to Rs. 51,291,361, for a single Markhor to be hunted in Toshi-II, Chitral. This remarkable bid stands as the second-highest rate ever recorded in the history of Markhor Trophy Hunting.

Additionally, M/S Hunting Safari offered a noteworthy bid of USD 125,000, amounting to Rs. 34,656,325, for a single Markhor to be hunted in Gahirait, Chitral, marking yet another exceptional feat.

Collectively, these endeavors have allowed Chitral to accumulate a staggering sum of $522,000 or 144.7248 million by authorizing the hunting of three Markhoor in two specific locations: Toshi, Shehrisham, and Ghahirat. It is noteworthy that a substantial portion of these funds, approximately 115.782 million, has been earmarked for a few influential individuals, while the remaining amount is allocated to nearby communities for purported development efforts, with an unfortunate absence of transparency and accountability.

Regrettably, this arrangement is facilitated by the elite class, who wield their influence to determine the locations for Markhor Trophy Hunting, neglecting other areas with Markhoor populations. Furthermore, the wildlife department is slated to receive Rs. 28.9428 million from the remaining fund for distribution among its officials, ostensibly in support of wildlife conservation activities.

In this scenario, it's essential to acknowledge that the Markhor, whose preferred food tree is the oak tree, has faced significant habitat destruction due to deforestation and the actions of the public. Unfortunately, there have been limited welfare or well-being initiatives directed towards the Markhor, with meager wages provided to a small number of watchers.

Moreover, communities in other conservation areas hold reservations regarding the collaborative partnerships between the wildlife department and influential families that determine the management of particular conservancies. This has sparked concerns over equitable conservation efforts and the preservation of the Markhor population in the region.

In this unfolding narrative, it is imperative to strike a balance between trophy hunting as a source of revenue and the long-term preservation of these magnificent creatures and their ecosystems. Finding a harmonious coexistence between economic interests and wildlife conservation remains an ongoing challenge that warrants careful consideration and thoughtful action.
