The Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB) has started guided tours of the recently established Leopard Preservation Zone in Islamabad’s Margalla Hills National Park (MHNP).
Last month, the IWMB inaugurated the country’s first ‘Leopard Preservation Zone’ which has been set up at the trail-6 in the Kalinjar area of the MHNP in the federal capital.
Taking to Twitter after the launch of guided tours, Chairperson IWMB, Rina Satti, penned that IWMB concluded its first guided tour of the Leopard Preservation Zone in the MHNP.
She added that members of the inaugural tour saw the leopard markings and learned about the MHNP’s ecosystem, urging the citizens to register for the guided tours as well.
