Editor's Notes
- There are almost 230 Protected Areas (PAs) in Pakistan of different categories such as National Parks (NPs), Wildlife Sanctuaries (WSs) and Game Reserves (GRs), covering around 11% land (2,753,357 ha) of the country. These PAs represent almost every ecological, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem and are considerably important for their ecological and socio-economic services.
