Bird Biodiversity In Pakistan
When it comes to biodiversity, it won’t be wrong tosay that Pakistan is a very diverse country – thanks to all the various types of Ecosystems and Biomes that Pakistan has to offer to its plants, animals and birds. Pakistan boasts a huge variety of birds, both that are native or endemic to Pakistan and those that migrate to Pakistan during harsh winters in the far north of our world [For more information, check out: Endemic or Native Bird Species of Pakistan and Migratory Birds and Flyways of Pakistan – Location, Seasons]. Pakistan is therefore home to a plethora of different species of birds. Pakistan is therefore a perfect place for any birdwatcher or bird photographer.
For a country this diverse in biodiversity, it is quite unfortunate that Pakistan does not have many prominent wildlife photographers even through there is no lack of talented nature photographers here; but ones that we have do not get the recognition they deserve even though they are really talented. So we at Envpk.com take it as our responsibility to promote not only the wildlife of Pakistan but also the wildlife photographers capturing these beautiful birds through their lens!
