Bahawalpur region especially Cholistan is extremely rich in wildlife resources and several threats are operating to deplete these resources without any sustainable development. Accordingly, some wild animals have become threatened which if not conserve would soon become extinct. So, students are prepared to explore these precious resources and to manage these resources for the sustainable utilization to uplift the socioeconomic conditions of the local communities.
