In a groundbreaking move, wildlife authorities have taken possession of two restaurants, Monal and LaMontana, located in the protected national park area of Margalla Hills, Islamabad. The Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB) confirmed that the restaurants were sealed by the district administration following the Supreme Court’s recent ruling, paving the way for wildlife to reclaim the area.
The Supreme Court’s decision has sent a strong message about the importance of preserving our natural heritage. By shutting down the restaurants, the court has ensured that the national park remains a safe haven for wildlife, free from human interference.
The Margalla Hills National Park is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including several endangered species. The park’s unique ecosystem is a testament to the region’s rich biodiversity, and its preservation is crucial for maintaining the delicate balance of nature.
The restaurants, which were operating within the national park area, had become a source of disturbance for the wildlife. The noise, pollution, and human activity had started to take a toll on the park’s ecosystem, threatening the very existence of the species that call it home.
By shutting down the restaurants, the Supreme Court has given wildlife a second chance to thrive in the area. The IWMB has already started to notice a significant increase in wildlife presence, as the decrease in human activity has created a natural habitat for various species.
The future of the restaurants and surrounding areas will be determined in consultation with relevant organizations, according to the IWMB spokesperson. However, one thing is certain – the national park will remain a protected area, free from human interference.
The Supreme Court’s ruling is a victory for conservation efforts in Pakistan. It sets a precedent for future cases, emphasizing the importance of preserving our natural heritage.
