Senior Punjab Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb says PML-N government is taking concrete measures for Wildlife conservation.

Addressing media in Islamabad today, she said under the instructions of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz we have started rescue operations against wildlife captivity.

Under this move, recently we recovered six bears that were in miserable condition and their illegal owner was involved in taming them for dancing purpose.

The Senior Punjab Minister said such activities are clear violation of our wildlife laws and international treaty in this regard.

She said in order to promote the wildlife conservation, we are aiming to establish rescue centers. She said Lahore Safari and Lahore Zoo will be utilized for this purpose in first phase.

Appreciating the efforts of Four Paws in Pakistan, she expressed the commitment to work with it for increasing awareness of local community to protect wildlife.

The Senior Punjab Minister said a Wildlife app is also being developed for citizens' awareness, that will be launched soon after Eid.
