Animals, as the living and part of colorful nature, have always fascinated the human imagination and figure abundantly in our arts, crafts and literature. Sindh littoral province of Pakistan, home of the pre-historic Indus valley civilization, is also rich in wildlife including some zoological relics. From time immemorial the superabundant waters of river Indus have sustained forest and wildlife, which flourished in this region through the ages .The enigmatic seals, painted pottery and figurines Moenjodaro civilization, dating back to around 2500 B.C., give clear evidence to the existence of two horned Rhinoceros and Tiger, besides a variety of other animals.

The annual inundation of the river, until a century ago, was unchecked and flowing over Sindh, gave rise to rich forest growth covering large mass of land. The rapid progress of human civilisation here-as indeed elsewhere in the world started after the discovery of iron and the invention of the axe and the plough. This process continued with the increase of population and the forested areas started shrinking until they were reduced to patches and blocks...Such is the destructive process affecting the wildlife habitat.

While the human civilisation continues to progress, now jumping towards a climax, it has been universally realized that all the living creatures sharing this earthly home of ours are interdependent so their protection alongwith natural, eco system are utmost essential. This is what conservation is all about.
