State of the Environment

1. The greatest environmental threat in Pakistan is land degradation.

2. Biodiversity Loss: Threats to biodiversity are from hunting which is still practiced as a popular sport. Flacons are smuggled to the Middle East. Lizards and snakes are killed for their skins. Marine ecosystems are also vulnerable to tourism.
