LAHORE:
The Lahore High Court summoned experts from the Worldwide Fund for Nature and the International Union for Conservation of Nature with regard to the safety of migratory birds in Pakistan. The court also issued a notice to the federal government.
The court issued the order on a petition stating that every December millions of birds migrating to Pakistan were hunted in violation of international conventions. The petitioner said the government had issued 25 licences for hunting these birds.
He said wildlife experts had stated that the number of birds migrating to the Punjab had decreased by at least 70 per cent.
