National Council for Conservation of Wildlife revived by federal govt

Author: Web Desk

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday approved the revival of the National Council for Conservation of Wildlife (NCCW).

The NCCW, which was the main wildlife policy-making forum in the country, was made redundant by the previous administration.

Its reinstatement will see the council approved by provincial representation and be based in the Climate Change Ministry at the federal level.

Sources said that the council’s revival would help Pakistan meet international obligations on controlling illegal wildlife trade and promoting conservation.
