PROTECTED AREA NETWORK KASHMIR
WildAID
Kashmir Infuse resources and broad-based support into campaigns
to protect Protected Area Network (PAN) and biodiversity
associated with it through mass awareness about relevant
information about the purpose of specific protected area in the
Valley. The State has 3 National Parks, I6 Sanctuaries, 26
Reserve Area covering an area of about 16000 sq. kms i.e just
about 4.21% of the state is designated as protected area. About
45 % of the mammalian diversity of the state is listed as
globally threatened in IUCN Red Data List and 34 % is included
in Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. This gives
an indication of the status of animals found in the State and
the conservation value of the State. There are many species
facing similar threats but do not find mention in either list.
There are several species of animals which have either been
wiped out completely or are on the verge of local extinction due
to habitat defragmentation, shelling, landmines, forest fires,
hunting pressures, grazing competition, poaching, diversion of
forest land for non forestry purpose, encroachment and
urbanization, traditional affinity for forest biomass, lack of
sufficient alternatives, poor socio economy, low literacy,
education and awareness, heavy smuggling due to political unrest
(so for 58 forest officers-officials fell to the bullets in the
harness during the insurgency). Lets together restore wild
habitat of Kashmir for better tomorrow...
