  • 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.

People’s Republic of China (PRC) officials, military officers, and civilian analysts use the strategic strongpoint concept to describe certain strategically valuable foreign ports with terminals and commercial zones owned and operated by Chinese firms.1 Each case study analyzes a different port on the Indian Ocean, selected to capture geographic, commercial, and strategic variation.2 Each employs the same analytic method, drawing on Chinese official sources, scholarship, and industry reporting to present a descriptive account of the port, its transport infrastructure, the markets and resources it accesses, and its naval and military utility.

QUETTA :BETWEEN FOUR REGIONS AND TWO WARS Haris Gazdar, Sobia Ahmad Kaker, Irfan Khan Collective for Social Science Research February 2010 Crisis States Working Papers Series No.2 ISSN 1749-1797 (print) ISSN 1749-1800 (online) Copyright © H. Gazdar, S. Ahmad Kaker, I. Khan, 2010 24 Crisis States Working Paper Buffer Zone, Colonial Enclave or Urban Hub? Quetta: Between Four Regions and Two Wars Haris Gazdar, Sobia Ahmad Kaker and Irfan Khan Collective for Social Science Research, Karachi, Pakistan Quetta is a city with many identities. It is the provincial capital and the main urban centre of Balochistan, the largest but least populous of Pakistan’s four provinces. Since around 2003, Balochistan’s uneasy relationship with the federal state has been manifested in the form of an insurgency in the ethnic Baloch areas of the province. Within Balochistan, Quetta is the main shared space as well as a point of rivalry between the two dominant ethnic groups of the province: the Baloch and the Pashtun.1 Quite separately from the internal politics of Balochistan, Quetta has acquired global significance as an alleged logistic base for both sides in the war in Afghanistan. This paper seeks to examine different facets of Quetta – buffer zone, colonial enclave and urban hub − in order to understand the city’s significance for state building in Pakistan. State-building policy literature defines well functioning states as those that provide security for their citizens, protect property rights and provide public goods. States are also instruments of repression and the state-building process is often wrought with conflict and the violent suppression of rival ethnic and religious identities, and the imposition of extractive economic arrangements (Jones and Chandaran 2008).

  • Rahim Yar Khan District Is a District in the Punjab Province of Pakistan, the City of Rahim Yar Khan Is the Capital
    World Water Day April-2011 17 DRINKING WATER QUALITY CHALLENGES IN PAKISTAN By Z. A. Soomro1, Dr. M. I. A. Khokhar, W. Hussain and M. Hussain Abstract: Pakistan is facing drastic decrease in per capita water availability due to rapid increase in population. The water shortage and increasing competition for multiple uses of water has adversely affected the quality of water. Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources has launched a national water quality monitoring program. This program covered water sampling and their analysis from 21 major cities. The water samples were analyzed for physical, chemical and bacteriological contamination. Results showed that most of the samples in all four provinces are microbiologically contaminated. Arsenic problem is major in cities of Punjab, Nitrate contamination in Balochistan, Iron contamination in KPK and higher turbidity values found in water samples found in Sindh. This valuable data would serve the regulatory bodies and implementing authorities towards the quality drinking water supply. Key words: Water Quality, Surface water, Groundwater contamination, Hand pumps, Pollution, Microbiology, Chemical contamination. 1. INTRODUCTION Nature has blessed Pakistan with adequate surface and groundwater resources. However, rapid population growth, urbanization and the continued industrial development has placed immense stress on water resources of the country. The extended droughts and non-development of additional water resources have further aggravated the water scarcity situation. Pakistan has been blessed with abundance of availability of surface and ground water resources to the tune of 128300 million m3 and 50579 million m3 per year respectively (The Pakistan National Conservation Strategy, 1992).Consequently per capita water availability has decreased from 5600 m3 to 1000 m3 / annum(Water quality status 2003).
