یہ پارکس ماحولیاتی آلودگی کم کرنے، نایاب جنگلی حیات کے تحفظ اور عوام کی تفریح کے علاوہ پنجاب میں ٹورازم کے فروغ میں معاون ثابت ہونگے۔
بزدار حکومت ماحولیاتی تحفظ اور عوامی دلچسپی کے کئی اور منصوبوں پر کام جاری رکھے ہوئے ہے۔— Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan (@Dr_FirdousPTI) December 4, 2020
Experts are saying that these parks will help reduce environmental pollution, protect rare species of flora and fauna, and boost tourism in Punjab.
Previously, PM Imran Khan inaugurated the Himalaya and Nanga Parbat National Parks in Gilgit Baltistan as a refuge for endangered wildlife and to promote eco-tourism.
Given the rich biodiversity in different parts of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, these national parks will support rare species like snow leopards, Himalayan brown bear, Ladakh urial, ibex, markhors, and blue sheep.
