Assessing Vertebrate Diversity and Bio-Ecological Threats in Maslakh Forest, Quetta

Abstract

The present study was conducted from August 2020 to December 2021 to count the vertebrate population and to examine the negative impact cause their scarcity. The Maslakh range forest (30°03′ to 30°21′ N and 66°31′ to 66°49′ E) extends over an area of 115,040 hectors with an altitude of 1406 meter to 4228 meter. Standard methods such as track counts, point surveys, line transects, road side counts, pellet counts, trapping, fresh holes, tracks counting, baited spotlight trick and normal spotlight were used to record the number of mammal species. For aves fauna survey strip census trick was used, and for reptiles, amphibian species direct counting (night observations, one-hour plot searching, stones, rocks and rotten trees turning) were processed, while indirect counting (informations) were obtained from field staff, game inspectors, game watchers, and local villagers. In total 153 vertebrate species including 28 mammals (18.30%), 100 birds (65.36%), 22 reptiles (13.92%) and 3 amphibians (2.06%) were recorded. Threatened species recorded were Striped hyaena (Hyaena hyaena Linnaeus, 1758), Indian wolf (Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758), Balochistan urial (Ovis vignei blanfordi Blanford, 1894), Chinkara (Gazella bennettii Sykes, 1831), and the imperial eagles (Aquila heliaca Blanford,1894) found to be critically endangered. It was observed that hunting and capturing of animals of the study area and native live-stock grazing were known to be the main reasons of fauna and flora decline. Another important factor was noted to be droughts intensity due to climatic change of the area. It is concluded that prompt management plan of the Forestry Department Balochistan (Balochistan wildlife Protection, Preservation, Conservation and Management) Act 1974 may be implemented in its full spirit at the earliest to save the vertebrate fauna, vegetation and natural fresh water reservoirs of Maslakh range forest, Pakistan.

Introduction

In Balochistan province (Pakistan), the marked decline in biodiversity happened due to anthropogenic activities like deforestation, species migration, and habitat fragmentation (Groombridge, 1998; Qasim et al., 2017). Other factors that violate biodiversity include increased human and live-stock population, habitat destruction, global warming, and also putting the lives in danger of some useful and unique species (Rawat & Agarwal, 2015; Tareen, 2017; Baboo et al., 2017; Javed, 2019). 

Major threats to vertebrate fauna diversity and habitat loss are forest degradation, wood logging, hunting, and disturbance by humans of the area (Khan et al., 2018). Maslakh wildlife protected area was established in 1968. The area was declared as a wildlife sanctuary for chinkara and urial (IUCN, 1997; Groombridge, 1998; WWF-Pakistan, 1998; Government of Balochistan and IUCN Pakistan, 2000; Ghalib et al., 2007) according to Balochistan wildlife (Protection, Preservation, Conservation, and Management) Act 1974. 

The Chinkara population in Maslakh range forest was almost wiped out by large hunting (Virk, 1991). The hill ranges are drained by main rainy Pishin river (Said & Hussain, 1959). The middle belt of about 8-9 km has no surface or groundwater (Said & Hussain, 1959).

Maslakh range (state) forest lies in the Olive-Pistacia vegetation zone. Due to extreme lopping and overgrazing in the past, tree growth in Maslakh is represented only by Pistacia khinjuk and infrequent copies of Fraxinus xanthoxyloides (Rafi, 1965). The predominant tree species are Olea ferruginea, Pistacia khinjuk, Prunus eburnea, Stocksia braubica and Berberis vulgaris. Artemisia maritima and Cousinia minuta constitute the main ground cover above 5,500' while Hammada griffithii replaces Artemisia in lower parts. The major grassses are Sipa pennata, Chrysopogon aucheri, Cymbopogon schoenanthus, Aeluropus littoralis, Poa sinaica and P. bulbosa (Rafi, 1965; Marwat et al., 1989). 

As previously, no literatures are available on vertebrate fauna diversity of Maslakh range forest Quetta. Therefore, to accomplish this gape of scientific knowledge, the vertebrate population count was estimated and the bio-ecological problems of the study area were determined. The management strategy required for conservation and organization of wildlife in the range forest was proposed.

Quetta: A Jewel Nestled in the Mountains!

As I stepped off the plane and into the city of Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province in Pakistan, I was immediately captivated by the raw, unfiltered beauty of this mountain-fringed city. The air, thin but pure, was a refreshing change from the often-smoggy metropolises I was used to visiting.

The Culture of Quetta: A Mélange of Tradition and Modernity

The charm of Quetta lies in its rich cultural tapestry. The people, predominantly Baloch and Pashtun, stay true to their roots, preserving their vibrant traditions while embracing the pace of the modern world. Their warm hospitality is as timeless as the mountains that cradle their city.

Exploring Quetta: A Journey into the Heart of Balochistan

Quetta is a city of contrasts, where arid desert landscapes meet lush, green orchards, where timeless adobe buildings stand side by side with modern architecture. The Hanna Lake, a serpentine body of water set against the mountains, offers a tranquil escape from the city's bustling heart. The Quetta Fort, a testament to the city's storied past, is an architectural marvel that offers a panoramic view of this spellbinding city.

The Cuisine of Quetta: A Gastronomic Delight

Quetta's cuisine is as diverse and flavorful as its culture. From the tender, juicy Sajji (a local delicacy of roasted lamb) to the aromatic Pilaf—every dish tells a story. But to truly savor the spirit of Quetta, one must try the street food. The irresistible aroma of Chapli Kebab and Cholay (spicy chickpeas) wafts through the air as dusk falls, drawing locals and tourists alike.

Quetta at Dawn and Dusk

The sight of Quetta waking up to the first rays of sun is a sight to behold. The mountains, resplendent in the morning light, create an awe-inspiring backdrop to the slowly stirring city. As the day ends, the city takes on a different hue. The tranquil silence of the night, pierced only by the occasional call to prayer, provides the perfect backdrop for reflection. The city, illuminated by a million lights, captures the essence of Quetta's beauty—raw, undefined, and timeless. In conclusion, Quetta is more than just a city—it's an experience. From its bustling street markets to its serene mountain landscapes, every moment in this city promises an adventure.
