Are Zoos A Necessary Evil For Species Conservation?

March 31, 2021 No Comments

Every few months we see pictures or videos of some animals in zoos which are clearly in distress. It makes us really sad and angry and we run social media campaigns to free those animals or close those zoos. There is no denying the fact that a badly managed zoo is the worst sort of […]

    Pakistan is facing a drought-like situation in 2025 due to scarce rainfall and snowfall. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has warned of significantly lower than normal precipitation across the country. This has raised concerns about water availability for agriculture, drinking, and other uses. The lack of snowfall in mountainous regions could also impact river flows and groundwater recharge in the long term. The situation highlights the growing threat of climate change and its impact on water resources in Pakistan. Rawalpindi Water Shortage: The Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) has declared emergency in Rawalpindi due to a severe shortage of water. This crisis can trigger drought. The water shortage in Rawalpindi has worsened, with daily demand standing at 68 million gallons against a mere 51 million gallons available. What is Drought? A prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to water shortage. Drought is a natural disaster that can have devastating impacts on communities and ecosystems. This can lead to a variety of problems, including crop failure, livestock losses, and water scarcity for human consumption. Causes of Drought: Droughts can be caused by a variety of factors, including climate change, deforestation, and unsustainable water management practices. They can occur in any part of the world, but some regions are more vulnerable than others. And Pakistan is one of the most vulnerable countries, when it come to climate change and its effects. Effects of Drought: The effects of drought can be far-reaching in Pakistan impacting agriculture as Pakistan is an agricultural country, it also affect industry, and even social stability. In severe cases, droughts can lead to famine and displacement. It is important to take steps to mitigate the impacts of drought. Solutions: Although drought is a natural disaster, but there are some ways to mitigate its effects and build resilience. Here are some solutions: • Water Conservation • Efficient Irrigation • Water Harvesting • Reduce Water Usage • Crop Selection • Water Storage • Aquifer Recharge • Reservoirs and Dams • Government Policy and Planning • Drought Management Plans: Develop comprehensive drought management plans at local, regional, and national levels to guide preparedness and response efforts. • Community Engagement and Education • Awareness Campaigns: Raise public awareness about drought risks and the importance of water conservation. • Desalination: Invest in desalination technologies • Water Recycling: Promote the reuse of treated wastewater • Climate Change Mitigation: Address the root cause of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions through transitioning to renewable energy sources and sustainable practices. By implementing these strategies, we can enhance our resilience to drought and ensure water security for communities and ecosystems. We hope you all liked this post!
