Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa trophy hunting season sets $1.9M revenue record Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province has announced a record-breaking $1.9 million revenue haul from its latest trophy hunting season, provincial authorities told _Nukta_ on Wednesday. Pir Musavir Khan, special assistant to the chief minister of KP, said the provincial wildlife department’s recent auction brought in $1.91 million — about PKR 542.7 million — from the sale of 39 trophy hunting permits for the 2025–26 season. According to the KP Wildlife Department, the permits included $946,000 from four exportable markhor permits, $553,300 from nine non-exportable markhor permits, $16,042 from 20 non-exportable ibex permits, and $398,500 from six non-exportable grey goral permits. Khan said the introduction of the grey goral, a mountain-dwelling goat-antelope, boosted revenue for the first time in the province’s trophy hunting program. “All revenue generated from the trophy hunting program will be reinvested into wildlife conservation efforts and the development of local communities living near protected habitats,” he said. Latifur Rehman, spokesperson for the wildlife department, said the Trophy Hunting Program — launched in the 1990s — has become a cornerstone of conservation and rural development. “Eighty percent of the revenue generated is distributed among local communities, supporting both the protection of markhor from illegal hunting and regional development, while also attracting international hunters to Pakistan’s northern areas,” he told _Nukta_. Mohsin Farooque, chief conservator of the Wildlife Department, said the upcoming hunting season will run from November through April, with December and January being the most popular months. Hunters favor the winter period when markhor — typically found at elevations of 8,000 to 11,000 feet — descend to lower altitudes. The markhor, a wild goat species and Pakistan’s national mammal, has an estimated population of 7,500, according to a 2022 study. More than 5,000 of them live in KP, primarily in the districts of Chitral, Kohistan, and Upper Swat, Farooque said.

Arlo's feeling a little worked up after a good workout. This is his preferred packer, for a couple of reasons: First, it's got a good weight and jiggle, so it looks and feels natural in most underwear; and Second, it's just the right size to ensure plenty of extra attention.

Once endangered, the Markhor is now thriving in Pakistan — thanks to a surprising factor: trophy hunting. Dr. Robert Kröger argues that regulated hunting has become the cornerstone of one of Pakistan’s most successful conservation efforts.
