Imran Khan stands against Qatari Prince on hunting in KPK

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has plainly rejected the request of the federal government, demanding the permit to be given to Qatari princes to hunt the houbara bustard in the province.

The demand of the federal government was refused because houbara bustard is a rare and protected bird, and its constant hunt can led to the danger of extinction.

MPA Ishtiaq Urmar, an advisor to CM Pervaiz Khattak for Environment, Forests and Wildlife, on the orders of Imran Khan stated:

“Following the 18th Amendment, provinces are sovereign in taking such decisions and strict action will be taken against those found hunting rare animals and birds.”

Caught illegally hunting rare bird species, Qatari prince's falcons seized

DERA ISMAIL KHAN (Pakistan), March 12, 2015:

Wildlife officials in Pakistan fined a Qatari prince and seized two of his prized hunting falcons after he was discovered illegally hunting a rare bird species, an official said on Thursday.

The confiscated falcons — which can be worth upwards of US$250,000 (RM918,820) each — were released into the wild this week, said Khan Malook, a district wildlife officer in the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The prince, identified as Sheikh Abdullah bin Abdul Rahman al-Thani, paid a fine of 80,000 rupees (RM2,940) before leaving the country, Malook said.

The Qatari was discovered hunting houbara bustards, listed as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, in the area in mid-January, he said.

Pakistan has come under fire from conservationists for granting permits for hunting bustards to wealthy Gulf Arabs, for whom falconry is a revered cultural tradition.

The sheikh, however, had no permit for hunting, Malook said.
