Subsequently, SAARC Regional Multimodal Transport Study (SRMTS) has been conducted with a view to enhance transport connectivity among the Member States of SAARC to promote intra-regional trade and travel. SRMTS is a comprehensive Study covering all modes of transport - road, rail, maritime, aviation and inland waterways. The Report of the SRMTS has been appreciated by the higher SAARC bodies and its recommendations have now been prioritized. The SAARC Leaders have called for early implementation of the recommendations contained in the Study. I am also pleased to mention that action is being taken to extend SRMTS to include Afghanistan. I commend the national and regional consultants for conducting the Study successfully. I also wish to express my appreciation to the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for providing technical and financial assistance (under ADB RETA 6187: Promoting South Asian Regional Economic Cooperation) in conducting the SRMTS.

It is no doubt that our beloved country had been facing numerous issues since its creation. The initial days were very tough for the newly state but with the blessings of Allah Almighty, it made progress day by day. However, due to conspiracy of external powers and some weaknesses of our leaders, the internal situation of East Pakistan rapidly changed and the end was painful as we lost not only the land but also our Bengali brothers. After the war of 1971, the people and leaders of Pakistan were forced to rethink the future of the remaining country.

  • Tree Communities Analysis of Sheikh Buddin National Park, District Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan
    Science, Technology and Development 35 (2): 67-74, 2016 ISSN 0254-6418 / DOI: 10.3923/std.2016.67.74 © 2016 Pakistan Council for Science and Technology Tree Communities Analysis of Sheikh Buddin National Park, District Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan Attaullah, Nasrullah Khan and Zahid Muhammad Laboratory of Plant Ecology, Department of Botany, University of Malakand, Pakistan Abstract: The present stduy is aimed to study the phytosociological attributes of the Sheikh Buddin National Park, situated in district Dera Ismail Khan. For this study, various field tours were conducted in March, 2013-August, 2015. A total of 26 plant species belonging to 22 generas and 19 families were identified. The data was collected, using quadrate method. The park was divided in 29 stands and 25 quadrates sized (10×10 m) were examined in each stand. Vegetation parameters such as Diameter at Breast Height (DBH), density, frequency and Important Value Index (IVI) of the woody species were recorded. The communities generated on the basis of IVI values resulted in the isolation of seven tree communities. Acacia modesta followed by Olea ferruginea were the dominant communities of the study area. Acacia modesta, Olea ferruginea, Acacia nilotiea, Caperis decidua, Tamarix aphylla, Prosopis cineraria and Ailanthus altissima were common species of the study area, while species such as Acacia nilotica, Tecomella undulate, Ziziphus jujube were randomly distributed. The results revealed that generally the park was dominated by small sized tree species indicating a secondary generation stage and it needs proper management, protection and care. Key words: Tree communities, sheikh buddin national park, Pakistan INTRODUCTION so as not to affect the primary objective of a national park’s establishment (IUCN., 1990).

  • Are Divergent Preferences Between Benefactors and Beneficiaries an Obstacle to Community-Based Conservation?
    Are divergent preferences between benefactors and beneficiaries an obstacle to community-based conservation? A case study of the Palas Valley, northern Pakistan Alexander Hellquist Master’s Thesis Department of Economics, Lund University, autumn 2004 Supervisor: Krister Hjalte Abstract This paper examines the problems of nature conservation in the Third World. A Pakistani community-based conservation project, the Palas Conservation and Development Project (PCDP), acts as a reference point. A field study was conducted to elicit the preferences of the benefactors and of the beneficiaries, i e the PCDP staff and the locals of the Palas Valley in which the project operates. Four preference-eliciting techniques were used: qualitative questions, a ranking question on environmental goods in the Palas Valley, a contingent valuation question on the threatened pheasant Western Tragopan, and a choice experiment on possible scenarios in the Palas Valley. The results show that the preferences of the PCDP staff and the Palasi locals diverge. In particular, locals stress physical infrastructure as being the most important PCDP objective, while the PCDP staff considers attitude changes among locals most important. Also, the locals endorse the notion of existence-values, from which First World nature conservation draws heavily, to a lesser extent than does the PCDP staff. Divergent preferences are problematic as they can result in misunderstandings and suspicion concerning the project among its beneficiaries. Also, basing project actions on preferences that are not shared with the beneficiaries is a sensitive issue. While a deepened participatory approach can overcome these difficulties, it could also compromise the original project objectives. Some steps to prevent these dilemmas are identified.
