Protecting Pakistan’s National Animal

The markhor, Pakistan’s national animal, is known for its striking spiral-shaped horns and its habitat in the country’s mountainous regions. Protecting the species is important not only for biodiversity but also for preserving Pakistan’s natural heritage.

Under regulated trophy hunting, a limited number of permits are issued under controlled conditions. Pakistan’s conservation model aims to combine restricted hunting with habitat protection and financial incentives for communities living close to wildlife populations.

The latest auction demonstrates how conservation programmes can generate substantial revenue.

For Pakistan, the ranking offers a positive indicator of the entrepreneurial energy shaping its future and the growing role of technology in that journey.

Profit Falls as Interest Rates Ease

The SBP’s latest results also offer a glimpse into how changing interest rates can affect the finances of a central bank.

As monetary conditions eased during FY2026, income from interest and mark up declined, bringing overall profit down from the previous year.

Despite this reduction, the SBP remained highly profitable, recording almost Rs 2 trillion in net earnings. Foreign exchange gains and stronger dividend income helped soften the decline and support the final result.

A New Opportunity for Pakistan’s Seafood Exports

Punjab’s shrimp farming expansion could give Pakistan a new opportunity to strengthen its blue economy and increase seafood exports.

By developing farms on land that was previously underused, the project aims to create a productive industry while generating employment and business opportunities.

The government has also highlighted the potential to reduce reliance on imported seafood and save foreign exchange by increasing domestic production.

For young people, the emerging sector could create opportunities across farming, hatcheries, processing, logistics, technology and exports.
