Attended by people from different walks of life including academia, government departments, civil society organisations and media, experts in the seminar highlighted numerous functions and services of mountain ecosystems of the world in general and of Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) – the home and junction of the world’s three largest mountain ranges; the Karakoram, Himalaya and Hindu Kush in particular.

Khadim Hussain Saleem, Secretary Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and Sajjad Haider, Secretary Forest, Wildlife and Environment, Government of Gilgit-Baltistan jointly chaired the occasion and applauded the efforts of organisers in showcasing the significance to the inhabitants of GB in providing life sustaining goods and services.

They also highlighted the policies on which the Gilgit-Baltistan provincial government is working in collaboration with the line government and non-government organisations for the improvement of local livelihoods.


Welcoming the audiences, WWF-Pakistan’s regional head in Gilgit Baltistan Dr Babar Khan said: ‘The world mountainous ranges, spread over 24% of the Earth’s surface and supporting about 26% of the global population, are facing ecological destruction creating serious implications for the local communities, most of which are the poorest and highly vulnerable people in the world.”

He added that the mountain landscapes of GB are the primary watersheds of the Indus River and almost 75% of water into Indus River System is contributed by its tributaries including Shango, Shyok, Shigar, Hunza, Hisper, Ghizer and Astore stemming from the mountains of GB.

“The tourism sector of GB in the presence of the highest concentration of peaks such as K-2, Gaserbrum-I, Gasherbrum-II, Broad Peak and Nanga Parbat possesses huge potential for economic uplift, not only in GB but across Pakistan” said Yasir Hussain, Director Tourism.

For this purpose the tourism department, though newly established in GB in 2006, has taken important steps like developing tourism policy for the region, he added.

Dr Abdul Wahid Jasra, Country Representative ICIMOD-Pakistan, shared the message of Dr David Molden, Director General ICIMOD Nepal. He added that GB is home to mountains which produce numerous varieties of mountain products like mountain agriculture, livestock, gems and tourism. “There is a need to build capacity of local people to get the most of mountain products.”


Hussian also shared possible initiatives for promotion of tourism in Gilgit-Baltistan such as improving road access by developing alternative to the Karakoram Highway; operations of all-weather domestic flights; international transit flights and establishing proper tourism facilities.

Yasmeen Qalander, Manager Institutional Development, AKRSP emphasised on sustainable promotion of mountain products for the improvement of livelihoods and also highlighted the role of AKRSP in initiating various programmes in Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral for the betterment of mountain communities.

By the way we are speaking in Khowar. And at times Shina. LOL.
Any questions, pictures. Post here. Thought i make a thread or something so continue here.
@unleashed is a Gilgiti, like me. And he is currently in GB, living there. Good to know that we are getting members from all over Pakistan.

@Arsalan , still going?

@unleashed , read this. Kya wat de free time sher ta nasa. Read it.
How Gilgit-Baltistan got liberated .


@WAJsal , are you from Gilgit and living in Gilgit ?
 
@Musafir117
"Yea that filth was gathered in Parliment that time:tup: under leadership of Harmkhor Sharb noosh, Zani e Azam ZAB, enjoy mulla"
So what ahmedi. Besides who is ZAB. He has no significance in matters of Shariah. Whatever satisfies your ego.
 
"dont wish but the day some one declares imam ahmed reza kafir and hurt you or some close on the charges of being murtad .. you will feel the pain kid .. till than good luck keep with bashing ahmedis"
@pak-marine
Yet another example of Qadiani logic just like the gems of logic presented by Mirza in his books.
FYI Ahl e Sunnat constitutes the majority of Muslim population and major part of them respect Imam Ahmad Raza. Now compare this to Mirza Sahib situation. All sects of Muslim Ummah has declared Mirza Sahib Kafir Murtad and on this issue we Muslims have no disagreement.
Secondly just look at the stature and significance of both personalities in their respected religions (Mirza Sahib in Qadiani religion and Imam Ahmed Raza in Muslims). To us Imam Sahib is just another Imam of shariah just thousands like him who serve Deen of Rasool Allah. His writings are not Mandatory to us we may follow them may leave them. Now compare this to stature of Mirza Sahib in Qadianism. He is your prophet, Masih, Mahdi, Mujadid etc etc.
So if someone declare Imam Ahmed Raza Kafir I have no issue, my belief still remains intact. If you want a comparison than try to compare personalities of Rasool Allah P.B.U.H and Mirza Sahib L.A(Naozobillah). Which you people do frequently.
So Ahmedi grow up.
 
With in given croupt system , no one can get majority , & cycle will continue to run in favour of few , the crouptest ones ?
Majority can be gained, Imran Khan has shown that a third party can gain a majority, so it's not impossible.
yes sure ... why not demand to hang Zardari along with whole PPP and its supporters ? ;)
Let's wait for the fortune time. :-)
people vote for MQM not for AH .. and they vote for people who work in their areas , not those who sit in bani gala and become champions of Karachi :D
and who runs MQM, again people need to wake up and smell what's cooking.
@WAJsal , are you from Gilgit and living in Gilgit ?
From Gilgit, no not living in Gilgit; go there when we can. @unleashed , lives in Gilgit.
