@JavedMahar7 Do we have sand cats in Sindh

[Kamran Khan Yousfzai @falconrypk]

Goshawks ready but not allowed to fly. Punjab’s new policy limits local falconers to short season starting 15 Dec, while foreign falconers fly freely from mid-Oct.
Falconers ask policymakers gun hunting can not be compared to falconry.

@SohailAfridiISF @CSKPOfficial #Wildlifekpk KPK Wildlife Dept issues misleading denials, ignoring both law & heritage. Culture cannot be blocked under our Constitution. #CulturalRights #CulturalHeritage"

[Kamran Khan Yousfzai @falconrypk]

@CSKPOfficial KPK Wildlife Dept is overstepping
Instead of safeguarding hawking, the department refuses permits allowed under KP Wildlife Act, violating our cultural and constitutional rights. #Hawking #CulturalHeritage #Pakistan

[Kamran Khan Yousfzai @falconrypk]

@CSKPOfficial Can a provincial dept override the State of Pakistan’s authority? 🧐
Hawking is UNESCO recognized & part of Pakistan’s heritage, the State is bound to safeguard & promote it, so KPK Wildlife Dept can’t legally block it. #Hawking #CulturalHeritage
#UNESCO

[Kamran Khan Yousfzai @falconrypk]

@CSKPOfficial The law is clear: hawking is permitted under KP Wildlife Act with proper permit.
Why is KPK Wildlife Dept refusing to issue it and suppressing Pakistan’s heritage? #Hawking #KPK #CulturalRights

[Kamran Khan Yousfzai @falconrypk]

The elder falconers see not just a bird, but the spirit of falconry itself.

Peshawar High Court issued judgment directing KPK Wildlife Dept to reconsider issuance of hawking permits within 60 days, recognizing falconry as part of Pakistan’s intangible cultural heritage under the UNESCO Convention 2003. #Falconry #Pakistan #Goshawk #highcourt #Peshawar

Peshawar, even on a rickshaw you’ll find the art of falconry painted. A reminder that falconry here isn’t just sport it’s heritage, deeply rooted in community and culture. #Falconry #Peshawar #Pakistan

"کامن کیسٹرل" ہمارا مقامی پرندہ ہے۔ یہ ماھر شکاری ہوتے ہیں اور مختلف ریپٹائیلز، چھوٹے پرندوں، کیڑوں اور ٹڈی دل کا صفایا کرکے اپنا اکالوجیکل کردا ادا کرتے ہیں۔ شکار کرتے وقت دوران پرواز 'ھوورنگ' یعنے فضا میں ایک جگہ ساکت ہوجانےجیسی غیر معمولی صلاحیت رکھتے ہیں۔

[UNESCO Pakistan @UnescoPakistan]

Falconry, an ancient practice spanning over 4,000 years worldwide, symbolizes #IntangibleCulturalHeritage (#ICH) uniting nations in their love for nature. Initially a means of food procurement, modern #falconry prioritizes conserving and honoring these majestic birds of prey.
