The houbara bustard, a gentle desert bird native to Central Asia, has been poached to near-extinction despite being protected under Pakistani law. These birds need your help! »
The Sindh Wildlife Department has full authority to control sport hunting. However, influential local personalities  support this tradition, and the law is not enforced.
These birds are crucial to maintaining the biodiversity of the Middle East and Central Asia, but are expected to go extinct in as little as 15 years if sport hunting is kept up.
