Doyan valley conservation & development organisation has done a great job,& wwf department has also encourage the community for protecting this kind of rare unique specie of snow leopard but unfortunately there is neither proper financing in this regard nor any specific program to protect this precious wildlife in GB .I request wwf & wcs to take steps to protect all precious wildlife especially snowleopard of Gilgit Baltistan and encourage local community for protection of wildlife with in the their conservation area

Being a Falconer and Falcon lover would love to add and correct some things in this report, i had also got a chance to see those falcons, no doubt falcon foundation and other concerned departments played significant role in saving those falcons, but falcons who not only are the wildest & the proudest of living creatures but are also very sensitive, delicate & fragile in nature they are prone to stress related diseases like asspergiloses etc. during captivity which causes them to die.

What i would like to correct rather add is there were two species of falcons 1-Saker Falcon (falco cherrug)
2-Peregrine Falcon (falco peregrinus calidus.
Saker falcons come to Pakistan from central Asian states, china & Mongolia & peregrines from Siberia.
Saker falcon has been included in the red list of ICUN & peregrine falcon has been excluded from the threatened species list.
Delay in court decision causes increased mortality which could have been prevented by immediate release after the confiscation of these falcons.
Ban is imposed on trapping in 2005 but the people involved in it have family history of trapping still doing and are now called poachers.
