The state bordered the Gilgit Agency to the south, the former princely state of Nagar to the east. The state capital was the town of Baltit (also known as Karimabad) and its old settlement is Ganish Village. Hunza was an independent principality for more than 900 years. The British gained control of Hunza and the neighbouring valley of Nagar between 1889 and 1892 followed by a military engagement of severe intensity. The then Thom (Prince) Mir Safdar Ali Khan of Hunza fled to Kashghar in China and sought what can be called political asylum.

  • Grassland Productivity and Carrying Capacity of Deosai National Park 437
    Grassland productivity and carrying capacity of Deosai National Park 437 GRASSLAND PRODUCTIVITY AND CARRYING CAPACITY OF DEOSAI NATIONAL PARK, GILGIT-BALTISTAN, PAKISTAN Zakir Hussain, Sarwat N. Mirza,M. Irfan Ashraf and Syed Moazzam Nizami* ABSTRACT Present study was conducted during 2010-11 in the Department of Forestry and Range Management Pir Mehr Ali Shah, Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi, Pakistan to study the pasture conditions trends, biomass productivity, carrying capacity, possible influences of grazing on alpine grasslands and key issues of Deosai National Park (DND). Vegetation sampling was carried out through line transect and quadrat method, covering major habitats and elevation ranges for measurement of species composition, productivity and plant relationship with environmental variables. There were found 175 species, representing 111 genera and 37 families. Compositae and Ranunculaceae were found to be the dominant families. Hemicryptophyte (71.4%) and chamaephyte (14.9%) were the dominant life forms of Deosai Plateau. Six communities were differentiated on the basis of indicator species. Assessment of pasture conditions through hyper-temporal vegetation indices of normal difference vegetation index (NDVI) image series showed overall 8-10 percent retrogression of vegetation in productive grasslands. The average biomass production in DNP was found to be 1243 kg per hectare suggesting that DNP is currently having low biomass productivity. The average carrying capacity was found as 1.37 hectare per AU per 3 months. Heavy influx of nomads, free grazing by peripheral communities, extraction and unwise exploitation of fuelwood and medicinal plants, unmanaged tourism, absence of incentives to buffer-zone communities and habitat fragmentation were identified as major issues.
