Pakistan National Parks and Heritage Areas

It is a beautiful view of newly developed bridge at Lake Saifal Malook (جھیل سیف الملوک‎). It is an alpine lake located at the northern end of the Kaghan Valley, near the town of Naran. It is in the north east of Mansehra District in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan.

*****
Generally, a common man in Pakistan is highly concerned about deforesting and devastating situation of National Parks in the country. It is desirable to protect the environment of National Parks together with other Heritage Areas in Pakistan which is being destroyed day by day. Government departments responsible for these tasks, often face paucity of funds for the purpose. These sites can facilitate in providing recreation and education etc for the interest of general public and researchers. These sites can generate funds through controlled commercialization.
Therefore public private partnership if encouraged to provide transport, guide service, boarding and lodging facilities together with adventure club and camping etc.  Keeping in view the interest of local/international tourists; investors can provide separately economical and executive packages for return of their investment. Spending of investors and tourists will help to make such projects economically sustainable and viable.
In addition to above short courses covering different academic subjects can be started e.g.
·       Silvology
·       Silvicultural systems
·       Farm forestry
·       Protection of Wildlife
·       Honey Bee Farming
·       Silk Worms etc. etc.
