  • To Access the Complete Position Paper on Bundal Island
    Position Paper The Future of Bundal Island Introduction and Context The current Government of Pakistan, under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan, has addressed on both the national and global stage, the two challenges of the climate crisis and biodiversity loss through the Green Stimulus programme, the Restoration Fund, the Billion Tree Tsunami programme and the Recharge Pakistan programme. They have initiated the notification of National Parks and Protected Areas and wildlife conservation. All these varied initiatives have been done within a human development and livelihoods context. This was most recently reflected in the Prime Minister’s speech at the UN Biodiversity Summit. Pakistan currently stands tall on the world’s stage, but it must also reflect in action what it aspires to achieve and that means ensuring sustainable development of our biodiversity hot spots and key biodiversity areas (KBAs). Such an area is Bundal Island that comes under the recently constituted Pakistan Islands Development Authority. It is important that while the economic objectives of development are met, they are done in a way that protects biodiversity, retains their role as buffers to the impact of rising seas, ensures coastal resilience and sets aside certain core zones for conservation as national parks and protected areas. This will simultaneously maintain biological and climate integrity and enhance greatly any prime property value while marketing a genuinely green healthy environment. Bundal Island - Ecological and Economic Significance Bundal Island is a small island located in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Karachi, Sindh. It is located in a highly fragile eco-system of Indus Delta, which is recognized among the resource- rich ecosystems facing numerous threats, mostly man-made.

Global mean sea level may rise from 0.21 to 0.83 m by the end of 21st century as predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Although the Indus Delta covers an area of 41,440 km2 surrounded by a chain of BIs, this may result in an encroachment area of 3750 km2 in Indus Delta with each 1 m rise of sea level. This study has used a long-term (1976 to 2017) satellite data record to study the development, movement and dynamics of BIs located along the Indus Delta. For this purpose, imagery from Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS), Thematic Mapper (TM), Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), and Operational Land Imager (OLI) sensors was used.

    KARACHI MASTER PLAN-2020 CV-03 January 2007 C.V-03 Draft Development Plan 1 KARACHI MASTER PLAN-2020 CV-03 2 KARACHI MASTER PLAN-2020 CV-03 FOREWORD AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT With its 15 million population and an urban sprawl of 1300 sq km, the city of Karachi is the 7th largest city in the world. Karachi is recognized and valued for its enormous diversity that it represents. With its cultural cross section, it truly represents Pakistan in terms of its ethnic as well as cultural cross section in a unique urbane scenario. The range of dynamics and dimensions that governs this true Megapolise is more complex, than any one city can present. However, this diversity is the strength of the city. Ironically the true potential of Karachi has never been realized, for various reasons mentioned in this Master Plan. The plan suggests the strategies to enhance the quality of life for Karachities, as well as bring equity in living standards, provision of services consistent throughout the city. The strategies, if implemented, will bring synchronization to the urban fabric of city of Karachi. It has been appreciated that, due to neglect, and inaction, the city has lost its flair and its title as the “Queen of the East” . To regain the national and international prestige, which the city deserve, an overall strategic framework is been proposed, which is flexible enough to adopt to ever changing needs of the city, while comprehensive enough to be implemented as it is. The plan proposes a holistic approach towards improvements, specifically pro-poor polices, suggested changes in the approach to make it more conforming to the ground realities.
