Overview

  • A US citizen hunted a grey goral in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Torghar district under a $54,500 trophy permit, the wildlife department said.
  • Authorities reported six non-exportable grey goral permits issued this season, generating a total of $398,500.
  • The department states the initiative is designed to support local development and the protection of rare wildlife.
  • A day earlier, a Russian national legally hunted a Kashmiri markhor in Chitral’s Gahirat-Golen conservancy with a $68,000 license, with horns measured at 41 inches.
  • CITES approved a non-exportable quota for six markhor hunts in Kohistan and Chitral in October 2024, and provincial authorities say six hunts generated $246,700 with an 80/20 revenue split between communities and the national exchequer.
