Intro: A workshop on wildlife was held at the PFI on May 10, 11, 1977. Keith Howman, Secretary, Overseas Projects, World Pheasant Association was the chief guest. Mirza (Z.B.) imputed the decline of wildlife populations to deterioration of habitat, over shooting and the absence of scientific management and emphasised the need of surveys to determine the status of all wild animals, starting with those on the danger list: Cheetah, wild ass, Marco Polo's sheep, Suleiman markhor; great Indian bustard, western horned tragopan, snow leopard, Baluchistan bear, goitered gazelle, gavial and some waterfowl e.g., swans, marbled teal etc.
