  • Survey Report
    SAVE THE NATURE SURVEY REPORT BALOCHISTAN BLACK BEARIN PAB HILL, DISTRICT KHUZDARBALOCHISTAN [November2013] [ INTRODUCTION Balochistan, the largest province of Pakistan, has a rich floral and faunal diversity. Despite its global importance it has never been explored in detail nor been managed properly. The ecosystems are being degraded, depleted and deteriorated mainly due to the absence of appropriate management practices. As a result critical habitats continue to be degraded and many species of global importance have either become extinct or are critically endangered. The government has limited reach to the wilderness areas of the province, and little capacity or resources to undertake conservation activities. The extent of the issues is further augmented in these areas of the province due to inaccessibility and lack of human resources with the custodian department. Overgrazing; cutting of scanty vegetation by outsiders for sale as for fuel; indiscriminate hunting and trade in wild species are common practice especially in the bordering districts. Besides poverty and unawareness, the other most serious deficiency in environmental policy-making in the province lies in the lack of adequate and specifically trained human resources, able to generate new or to tap traditional knowledge needed for effective policy and proper implementation of the decisions. HABITAT AND LOCALITY OF BLOCHISTAN BLACK BEAR WADH Sub-Tehsil of district Khuzdar, Balohistan is very famous for its unique natural resources. It is predominantly inhabited by Mengal Tribe of Balochistan. The climate of the area is semi-arid with warm summers and mild winters. The target area, like rest of the Balochistan is also rich in mineral resources.

Global Security and Strategic Studies Review, V(I), 1-13. https://doi.org/10.31703/gsssr.2020(V-I).01 Theory and Practice of Insurgency and Counterinsurgency: The Case Study of Balochistan Pages: 1 – 13 | Vol. V, No. I (Winter 2020) Sheikh Ghulam Jilani* | Ghulam Mujaddid† Abstract Insurgency is a violent political struggle borne out of grievances in a local community. The phenomenon of insurgency is old, and the ways of tackling insurgencies have always been studied with interest. Pakistan has faced sporadic insurgencies in its Balochistan province. This study applies conceptual framework propounded by Scott Moore to Balochistan insurgency and analyzes the complex combination of Actions triggered by varied Beliefs and Structures of the Baloch society. In order to employ effective countermeasures to insurgency, an integrated approach needs to be worked out that seeks to create positive changes in the intertwined dimensions of Actions, Beliefs and Structures. The study finds that such an approach to handle insurgency in Balochistan has generally been successful. And the Baloch society has largely been mainstreamed in the national society and the state of Pakistan. Key Words: Insurgency, Counterinsurgency, Balochistan, Pakistan, Actions, Beliefs and Structures, Scott Moore Introduction Insurgency is a politico-military struggle, carried through guerrilla warfare. As a form of political violence, the phenomenon of insurgency is as old as humanity itself. Guerrillas and partisans have existed throughout the recorded history, but their irregular conflict format has been transformed by the profound changes occurring in 20th century, when ‘social, economic, psychological, and, especially, political elements were combined with guerrilla tactics in order to radically alter the structure of the state by force’.

The present environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) study of the Promoting Girls Education in Balochistan (PGEB) project has been carried out in compliance with the national environmental laws of Pakistan and the World Bank Operational Policies (OPs). The ESIA delineates the environmental and social issues emerging from the PGEB project, identifies the potentially adverse environmental and social impacts of the project activities, and suggests appropriate mitigation measures to offset or reduce these impacts. The report also suggests guidelines for environmental enhancement opportunities available during various phases of project implementation to maximize the benefit to environment. The mitigation measures and guidelines have been organized in the form of an environmental and social management plan (ESMP) to be implemented by the Project Management Unit (PMU) of the PGEB project for avoiding or mitigating the significant environment and social impacts. 2. The scope of the study entails assessment of the environmental and social impacts of PGEB project activities in the selected 12 districts of the province including Kachhi, Loralai, Jhal Magsi, Khuzdar, Kalat, Lasbela, Jaferabad, Kech, Panjgur, Kila Saifullah, Pishin and Naseerabad districts. The project area spreads over from north to south of the province covering almost 138,011 square kilometers (40%) area of the province. The environmental and social assessment covers physical, biological and social impacts of project activities during various implementation stages from site selection and designing to construction and operational phase of the school buildings.

Начиная с 1947 г., белуджское повстанческое движение пережило несколько этапов, последний из которых ведет отсчет с 2006 г. Учитывая затяжной характер противостояния, правительство Пакистана и особенно руководство вооруженных сил рассматривают белуджских повстанцев как не меньшую, если не большую угрозу, чем ведущаяся на северо- западе страны «война с терроризмом». Стратегическое положение Белуджистана и многолетнее повстанческое движение вынуждают Пакистан держать на территории провинции значительные силы безопасности. Однако, несмотря на расколы среди повстанцев, вооруженным силам не удалось добиться мира, а федеральному и региональному правительству – обеспечить социально-экономическое развитие провинции (за исключением порта Гавадар, с помощью Китая). У государства отсутствует системная политика
