In Gilgit Baltistan Parks a Wildlife Department introduced a trophy hunting program in 1990, involving the local community of Bar Valley. This program permits the hunting of Markhor, Blue Sheep, and Ibex in Gilgit Baltistan, subject to regulations outlined in the Gilgit Baltistan Wildlife Act of 1975. The hunting of these species is generally prohibited in Pakistan but is allowed in Community Managed Conservation Areas (CMHA's) in Gilgit Baltistan as a special case.

The Trophy Hunting Initiative serves as a source of revenue for both the local communities in CMHA's/CMA's and the supervising government department. Currently, there are 47 such CMHA's/CMA's notified in Gilgit-Baltistan.

The primary objective of this program is to promote conservation efforts, generate income for local communities, and protect the vulnerable populations of these species.

"جنگلات اور ماحولیاتی سیاحت جوڑ کر ایک زیبا تجربہ پیدا کرتے ہیں۔ جنگلات کی خوبصورتی، پرانے درختوں کا اسراری جذبہ، اور جانوروں کی شاندار مواجودگی ماحولیاتی سیاحت کی روایت کا حصہ بنا چکے ہیں۔ اس کی بنا پر سیاحوں کو جنگلات کی حفاظت اور ماحول کی صحت کے حوالے سے آگاہی حاصل ہوتی ہے۔ ان سیاحتی تجربات میں جنگلات کے معاشرتی اور اقوامی ماحول کی محافظت اہمیت رکھتی ہے، جس سے وہ سمجھتے ہیں کہ ماحولیاتی تناؤ کم کرنا اور بقاء کیلئے اہم ہے۔ ماحولیاتی سیاحت جنگلات کو بچانے کے لئے اہم ذرائع میں سے ایک ہیں، جو ساتھ ہی جنگلات کی سنگین خوبصورتی اور طبیعی وراثت کو قائم رکھتے ہیں۔"

جنگلی حیات کا تحفظ پودوں اور جانوروں کی انواع اور ان کے رہائش گاہوں کی حفاظت کا اہم عمل ہے۔ اس کا مقصد ان species کی بقا کو یقینی بنانا اور لوگوں کو دیگر species کے ساتھ پائیدار زندگی گزارنے کے بارے میں تعلیم دینا ہے۔

آخری 200 سالوں میں انسانی آبادی کی تیزی سے بڑھتی ہوئی آبادی کے باعث قدرتی وسائل کا استعمال بھی تیزی سے بڑھا ہے، جس نے جنگلی حیات کے رہائش گاہوں کو خطرے میں ڈال دیا ہے۔ اس ترقی کی بنا پر جنگلی حیات کو مختلف خطرات کا سامنا کرنا پڑتا ہے جیسے موسمیاتی تبدیلی، آلودگی، شکار، ماہی گیری، اور غیر قانونی شکار۔

عالمی وائلڈ لائف فنڈ، کنزرویشن انٹرنیشنل، وائلڈ لائف کنزرویشن سوسائٹی، اقوام متحدہ اور لوکل کنزوشن کمیونٹی جیسی تنظیمیں جنگلی حیات کے تحفظ کے لئے کام کرتی آرہی ہے۔ انہوں نے قومی پارکس اور پناہ گاہوں کی قیام اور تحفظ کی کوششوں میں حکومتوں کی مدد اور تعاون کیا ہے، اور جنگلی حیات کے جرائم کے خلاف کارروائی کی۔ ان کا مقصد حیاتیاتی تنوع پر انسانی اثرات کو کمی کرنا اور لوکل لوگوں کو اگاہی اور شعور دنیا ہے کہ قدرتی وسائل کو مثبت انداز میں کیسے استعمال کرنا ہے جس کی سب سے بہترین مثال ماحولیاتی سیاحت ہے.

جنگلی حیات کے تحفظ کرنا ہم سب کا فریضہ ہے تاکہ ہماری آیندہ نسلوں کو خوبصورتی سے بھرپور دنیا کا حصہ بننے کا موقع ملے۔

جانور آپ کی روح کی کھڑکی اور آپ کی روحانی منزل کا دروازہ ہیں۔ اگر آپ انہیں اپنی زندگی میں آنے دیں اور انہیں آپ کو سکھانے کی اجازت دیں تو آپ کو ایک بہتریں شخصیت بننے سے کوئی نہیں روک سکتا ...🤍

Basho Forest and ECO-TOURISM ( by Younus Shehzad, A voulanter Biodiversity conservationest )

The BASHO forest is designated as Protected Forests. According to section 29 of the Pakistan Forest Act, 1927 (Annex- 4) a Protected Forest is a forest land or wasteland, that is not included in a Reserved Forest, but which is the property of the Government or over which the Government has proprietary rights or to the whole or any part of the forest-produce of which the Government is entitled. In a protected forest all activities are allowed except those, which are specifically prohibited. Generally, grazing and removal of dead, dying fallen wood is not prohibited. However, grazing can be regulated to ensure regeneration. Basho forest is very important for meeting the subsistence needs of local rural communities including wood, fuel, timber, grazing, medicinal plants, food ( mushroom, honey, wild fruits), and for providing environmental groups e.g. water for agriculture and drinking, services like ECO-TOURISM. BASHO forest is a Community-based management of natural forest which is planned already been prepared by the Mountain Areas Conservancy Project (MACP). Three guest houses which you have seen there are part of this management project. This project is facilitating community-based management of biodiversity including forest, Basho forest special concern. The local people have some rights for their domestic needs in protected forests of the Baltistan region(BASHO) which are grazing to livestock (cattle, sheep, and goats) fuel wood, construction for houses etc, Communities have grazing rights in the Protected Forests but Before the formation of BCDO, BASHO forest is managed exclusively by the forest department of GB government and local people are not involved in any proposals for the management of the forest As it is established fact that alienating local people in forest Management will not work satisfactorily unless local people feel that their Legitimate demands are being met and that they are obtaining a fair share of the benefits. Therefore, it is imperative to involve LOCAL COMMUNITY (BCDO) living in and around the protected forests for collaborative management of forests. It is recommended to develop Joint Forest Management (JFM) Plans for all protected forests of GB.

The role of the community (BCDO) is education and awareness to locals for achieving success in conservation initiatives. Generally, there is lake of awareness among these people about the social and economic consequences of the loss of forests. forests are an important source of countryside recreation and eco-tourism. The Basho forest has special significance and attraction but this potential has not been exploited so far, BCDO put in 20 years of continuous effort to promote eco-tourism. The attractions and potentials relating to BASHO forest include landscape, modest climbing and hiking, open spaces in between, local culture and traditions folk stories, songs and dances, bird watching, watching big animals, seeing cultural properties in and a round forests, horse riding, hot and cold springs, special plants, animals and insects, geology and rocks, guided trails and local cuisine(desh). important requirements for encouraging forest-related eco-tourism include rules of ethics for visitors, water, toilets, waste disposal, and cleanliness; avoiding music and noise; signposts, information boards; information regarding natural resources, special areas, spots, and local customs and traditions. Day trips and modest kiosks instead of restaurants and hotels are to be preferred. Valley entry fees, guide fees, trained guides, and interpretation of the natural and social environment would be useful both for local communities and tourists

Challenges commonly Faced by BCDO to protect the Basho forest are:
- Lack of community(member) involvement
- Timber and firewood taken by non-residents
- Illegal felling
- Illegal hunting
- Absence of regeneration
- Lack of awareness of the importance of forests among communities(members).
- Lack of unanimity among the community for the protection of forests.
-Lack of finances for the protection of forests.
- Inadequate forest supervisory staff.
- Lack of sense of responsibility for the protection of forests.
- Trend to make easy money through illegal cutting/felling of forests

THE VIEW.
The arrival of people from outside showed. How beautiful this area is. Otherwise, we're cold all our lives, lived our life and didn't know the name Of View. Nowadays, the elderly men and women of the village also enjoy the view. 😀 Younus Shehzad

باہر کے لوگوں کی آمد سے پتہ چلا. یہ علاقہ کتنا خوبصورت ہے. ورنہ تو ہم ساری زندگی سردی زیادہ ہے. کہتے ہوے عمر گزارتے تھے اور اور ویوview نام کا پتہ ہی نہی تھا. آجکل گاوں کے عمر رسیدہ مرد و خواتین بھی ویو Viewsکا مزہ لیتے ہیں 😀
