    KAZINAG NATIONAL PARK

    Introduction

    On the beginning of this introduction about kazinag national park


    and is adjacent wildlife sanctuaries, i am very much thankful to the
    creator who has given me the ability of writing. Nature the
    storehouse of all ideas, thoughts and the powerhouse of all
    inspirational resources has inspired the writers, Artists, Naturalists,
    conservationists, photographers and Scientists since from the
    existence of life to transfer all these ideas and thoughts into the
    master pieces by self-involving. The beauty, wisdom and ingenuity
    that inspired these distinguished people's to create master pieces is
    available to each like one of we too. It is the nature who has
    inspired and is inspiring these distinguished people to do something
    good by utilizing their own capabilities, natural resources and their
    capabilities satisfying others for the search of truth, beauty and
    realities. One of the most inspiring phenomena of nature is the
    transformation of knowledge, thought and ideas to others. It is only
    and only the nature who makes this transformation possible for
    creatures, so that they will know, feel and think about the resources
    of nature. Now what we have to do is to know the nature nearby,
    look deeper into the nature and hear the messages of nature, who
    inculcates the hidden qualities and inspires you to do something
    innovative. It is the nature who inspires and allows the people to
    make the deeper study of universe and its resources like FLORA
    AND FAUNA also ORGANIC AND INORGANIC objects. Nature has put
    the responsibility in hands of these people's having good ideas,
    thoughts and wisdom for the study of nature and its resources. Now
    our responsibility begins from here that is why we KAZINAG
    WILDLIFE DEFENDERS started working for the conservation and
    protection of wildlife species especially the endangered (MARKHOR)
    and (western Tragopan ), also the biodiversity of kazinag.

    KAZINAG

    Kazinag name has been given to this area on the name of Baba kazi
    Masoom who was one of the famous Darvesh residing in the upper
    most jungles of kamalkote area and preferred to spend his whole
    life in a cave. After his death the cave where he spended his golden
    years becomes the famous shrine by the name of kazinag.
    Kazinag national park/ Range is situated on the north side/bank of
    river Jhelum. It lies between the loc in URI in west and Manzgam
    Gantamulla in east. Its area is divided into 04 main protected areas
    ie. kazinag national park 89sqkm, limber wildlife sanctuary43.75
    sqkm, lachipora wildlife sanctuary 93.50sqkm and Naganari
    conservation reserve 22.25sqkm. The total area of all its 4 main
    protected areas is about 228.5 sqkms. It starts from manzgam and
    ends at LOC in uri Baramulla. It is situated in district baramulla and
    is about 15 kms away from the district headquarters baramulla and
    70 kms away from lal chowk Srinagar moreover 80 kms from sheikh
    ul aalam international Airport. It lies at an Altitude between 1600-
    4800 Mts. It is rich in its endangered flora and fauna. In flora
    Kazinag range is mostly dominated by coniferous forests with
    deodar and kairu at lower altitudes, fir & spruce at middle and Birch
    occur mainly in high elevations moreover pastures at top . The
    fauna includes some rare, threatened, endangered species within
    the limits of kazinag National park and its adjacent areas. The key
    species are Markhor, Musk Deer, Brown Bear, black bear, common
    leopard, Yellow Throated Martin, Himaliyan Marmot, and Kashmiri
    Flying Squirrel etc. The bird species are western tragopan, Golden
    Eagle, Monal Pheasant, Koklas Pheasant, Cuckoo, cheer pheasant,
    blyths tragopan, macpie, khilij pheasant etc. The kazinag range so
    called the home for endangered species near the Line of Control will
    vanished soon if not protected and preserved through proper
    management. Their must be have some good strategies, plans,
    practices and policies in order to make the efforts for conservation
    of species and restoration of fragmented habitats, so that the
    anthropogenic pressure may be reduced. The efforts made by the
    wildlife protection department of j&k especially Rashid Naqash with
    its less manpower and Dr Reyaz Ahmad/ Sameer (WTI) are
    appreciable, but not enough. Their is need to do more in future in
    order to maintain the ecosystem of kazinag.
    Among these protected areas limber wildlife sanctuary 43.75 sqkms
    is one of the most important and specific area for these endangered
    species. The area being small in size Is rich in its flora and fauna
    has provided safe environment to these endangered species with
    least disturbances for their existence. Limber wildlife sanctuary is
    famous for the Markhor citing. The area has got significant
    importance in the region in recent times as the researchers,
    Naturalists, scientists, biologists, conservationists, photographers
    are visiting from time to time. Due to its scenic beauty, biggest
    waterfalls and rugged Mountains it remains in the hearts of visitors
    and attracts them. I can say this is a heaven in heaven. Moreover
    visitor’s can visit here in all four seasons as every season has its
    own charm, but professionals have some specific and limited time
    to visit for citing and photography

    KAZINAG WILDLIFE DEFENDERS


    KAZINAG WILDLIFE DEFENDERS (KWD) founded in 2010, with the
    clear objective to save, conserve and protect the wildlife and
    wilderness of kazinag range especially limber wildlife sanctuary
    known for magnificent, endangered mountain ungulates. kazinag
    has a strategic position in the sub-continent as well as in the j&k,
    because of its landscape, geographical location, natural resources
    and rich wildlife flora and fauna. Over the past few decades very
    less attention has been given on the declining trend of wildlife in
    kazinag. There is a great need of management and conservation of
    wildlife species . However, an effective conservation policy would
    have a far reaching impact on the wildlife of the j&k. KAZINAG
    WILDLIFE DEFENDERS proposes to undertake the conservation of
    wildlife in Jammu and Kashmir starting with its flagship program of
    Markhor Conservation. We aim to do so through community support,
    awareness and management within its distribution rage. Together
    these activities we can change attitudes towards nature and help
    people to imagine wildlife and humans living in harmony. KWD is
    committed to this mission because it is essential to the integrity of
    life on Earth. KAZINAG WILDLIFE DEFENDERS intents to safeguard
    the environment for present and future generations by putting its
    best as well as ultimate resources on judicious use. Our community
    even if working on various issues related to stability of environment
    and ecology in this region, however puts a focus on a vital and
    unavoidable part of it i.e. Wildlife Conservation. Globally the identity
    of Wildlife in Jammu and Kashmir lies on a royal and magnificent
    wild goat MARKHOR, a threatened and endangered species, whose
    population is less in numbers.
