ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday approved the revival
of the National Council for Conservation of Wildlife (NCCW).
The NCCW, which was the main wildlife po
licy-making forum in the country, was made redundant by t
he previous administration.
Its reinstatement will see the council approved by provincial r
epresentation and be based in the Climate Change Ministry at the federal level.
Sources said that the counci
l’s revival would help Pakistan meet international obligations on controlling illegal wildlife trade and promoting conservation.
