  • Mountain Mammals in Pakistan George B
    """ '""'"ilrh George B. Schaller Mountain Mammals in Pakistan George B. Schaller The author spent eleven months between 1970 and 1975 studying the wildlife of the high mountains in northern Pakistan, especially the large mammals that are endangered in Pakistan. He describes the status of nine, of which the brown bear is on the verge of extinction there (although commonly seen in the form of performing bears in city streets), while the Kashmir markhor, snow leopard and Marco Polo sheep are in serious danger. Despite the protection laws and new reserves, including a new national park, the rule is still too often 'if it moves shoot it, if it doesn't chop it down'. The Hindu Kush, Himalaya, and Karakoram ranges meet in northern Pakistan to form a tremendous mountain region some 100,000 sq km in extent. The summer monsoon reaches the southern hills, making them quite lush, with forests of oak, fir, pine and other trees up to the timberline at about 4000 m. Further north, beyond the towns of Chitral and Gilgit, the ranges are bleak and cold. With precipitation of less than 50 cm per year, much of it as snow, the terrain is desolate glaciers and rock and wind-flayed slopes sparsely dotted with Artemisia, Ephedra, and other low shrubs. Alpine meadows and groves of birch and willow hug the stream edges or grow on sites nurtured by meltwater from the perpetual snows. But these remote and inhospitable mountains support a large human population. In the fertile southern portions most forests have been cut and the Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

This thesis, by tracing its mechanism at three different geographical scales---global, national, and local, analyzes its multidimensional impact at each scale. It shows that at a global scale, OBOR is in the form of competing narratives over its global impact and nature; at a national scale, OBOR is represented as economic corridors, aiming at improving infrastructures, increasing multilateral trade, integrating financial systems, and strengthening cultural ties; and at
