Top 5 International Wildlife Organizations in Pakistan

WWF Pakistan has a total of 29 offices – it works through 22 project offices, 6 regional offices in Gilgit, Islamabad, Karachi, Muzaffarabad, Peshawar and Quetta, and the main office located in Lahore.

2: IUCN Pakistan

The IUCN Pakistan country office was established in 1985 and has been an important contributor to environmental work in the country at both policy and community levels, working toward sustainable development.
At present, our programmes in Pakistan focus on biodiversity conservation, particularly in the country’s coastal and forest areas, and addressing ongoing challenges to ecosystems and biodiversity preservation, especially in the face of climate change impacts. Work in the country is delivered with a major thrust toward building strong and lasting partnerships with the public sector on new environmental initiatives.

3:International Snow Leopard Trust (ISLT)

The snow leopard finds a home in the Hindu Kush and Karakoram mountains in Pakistan’s northern provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit Baltistan, and Azad Kashmir.

ISLT partners with the Snow Leopard Foundation (SLF), one of Pakistan’s most respected conservation nonprofits. The organization is led by 2016 Whitley Award winner Dr. Muhammad Ali Nawaz, who is also an Assistant Professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at Islamabad’s Quaid-i-Azam University.

4: Snow Leopard Conservancy

The Conservancy’s first community partnership in Pakistan began in 2004, with conservation and education activities in Skyo and Hushe villages in Baltistan. Our partner in Baltistan is Project Snow Leopard, which works under the umbrella of the Baltistan Wildlife Conservation & Development Organization. Our collaborative programs focus on corral predator-proofing, improved livestock guarding and livestock insurance programs, environmental education, outreach, and community-based monitoring using snow leopard sign surveys, periodic prey counts and camera trap surveys.

5:World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA)

WSPA, a UK based charity, is currently working with the Bioresource Research Centre of Pakistan (BRC) to permanently end the tradition of bear baiting in Pakistan, and therefore the world.
