Machiara National Park

Machiara National Park is one of three globally significant national parks selected for a Global Environment Facility sponsored project. The overall goal is to set-up management models demonstrating effective natural resource conservation and make a significant contribution to the development of Pakistan's capacity.

Park management will be improved through activities involving local communities, conflicts between people and parks will be reduced, park planning processes improved, local, regional and national support for protected areas will be strengthened and trust funds established to ensure sustainable management. Specialist advice, baseline studies, workshops and study tours, training and NGO based technical assistance are all part of the project.
