ENDANGERED ANIMALS

Titans Pet is a Nexus for pet lovers from all around Pakistan, and we believe in holding a responsibility to stay aware and educate our pet community regarding the endangered species in the country. From the natural glaciers, mountain ranges, fertile plains, peaceful plateaus, riversides, and stunning visuals at the sea shores, to name a few, along all these landmarks, there are numerous beautiful and visually mesmerizing animals, birds, and fish species living in that habitat to add to the overall magical effect of these natural treasures. Unfortunately, the increase in illegal hunting, environmental pollution, deforestation, and all other environmental hazards are leading to danger in the healthy existence and survival of these animals.

Our Concern for Endangered Species:
Titans Pet has presented a new initiative to help educate the masses regarding the importance of these endangered species in Pakistan, how and why they are in problem, and how to save them from extinction. We have committed to this cause as we firmly believe that everyone in our Nation has an ethical and moral obligation to contribute their part in the rescue and survival of these endangered animal species in Pakistan. Ignoring or neglecting this critical issue for wildlife would lead us to see the extinction of several animals, birds, fish, plants, and other ecosystem inhabitants. This would negatively impact our land's wildlife ecosystem in an unprecedented manner.

Endangered Species in Pakistan:
The discussion about near extinction and endangered species in Pakistan is pretty comprehensive and requires a lot of time and effort to understand, let alone take action. We'll summarize it in a meaningful and impactful manner so you can get a clear idea regarding the severity and critical nature of this issue in Pakistan. As a pet-loving community, the clients of Titans Pet truly love and cherish every animal species on our planet that adds to the beauty and glory.

Although there's a long list of main categories and then species in the endangered animal species of Pakistan, most notable are the mammals, while fish like the Indus River Dolphins and many amphibians, reptiles, and birds are also on the verge of extinction due to ecological threats. And if we also mention plants that are becoming extinct or endangered in our lands, the condition is even worse.

Hence, the following are a few most notable and well-known animals, birds, reptiles, and fish that are highly endangered in Pakistan:
• Markhors
• Snow leopards
• Asian Black Bear
• Caracal
• Indus River Dolphin
• Sociable Lapwing
• White-rumped Vulture
• Blackbuck
• Fishing Cat
• Argali
• Marsh Crocodile

Why are They Endangered?
Many environmental and human factors contribute to the endangerment and threat to these animals in Pakistan, but the scale and impact of each of these factors varies. Habitat Loss, Illegal Hunting and Poaching, Pollution, Climate Change, Overfishing, Loss of Wetlands, Lack of Awareness and Education, and Human-Wildlife Conflict are many reasons they are endangered. While the government campaigns and initiatives are not dependent upon us directly, the Titans Pet Community can add our efforts on individual and community levels to protect and promote healthy living of these rare and exotic names as we love our pet animals and birds.

Legal Actions Against Illegal Hunting in Pakistan:
The legislation and laws for animal rights and security have been present in the constitution for more than a century with the Prevention of Animal Cruelty Act of 1890; the implementation and enforcement of endangered and exotic animals laws are neglected and considered perfectly fine by locals and the masses resident and touring the habitat of these animals. Moreover, with recent massive efforts of International initiatives to save wildlife in Pakistan, legal actions, fines, imprisonment, and other judicial punishments are being added to the guilty offenders against these endangered animal species. You can face a 150000 or more rupees fine or up to 6 years imprisonment if you violate Pakistan's Hunting and Preservation laws.

How to Save Them from Extinction in Pakistan?
Now comes the most important part of our discussion: the measures required from us as animal lovers to preserve, protect, and promote a healthier ecosystem for all endangered animals, birds, fish, and plant species of our country. Understanding and acknowledgment of these measures and steps would help build a more eco-friendly, wildlife and habitually diverse Pakistan:
• By spreading education and awareness among everyone, especially those related to endangered species of Pakistan, we can reduce illegal and unregulated hunting and habitat loss.
• Reducing the use of harmful chemicals and toxic gasses in producing and manufacturing various products and decreasing the direct use of fossil fuels causes pollution, unsafe water, and deforestation.
• We are promoting eco-friendly measures like recycling, reusing, and reducing the use of plastic-based and other products that directly threaten our country's environment and habitat for animals and humans.
• Reforestation and reforming the natural habitats of these endangered species can be achieved by contributing to animal preservation and protection campaigns and organizations in Pakistan through fund contributions or active volunteering.
