In a significant step towards mitigating the threats posed by feral dogs to domestic animals and wildlife in Mustang, a total of 344 feral dogs have been successfully controlled, vaccinated, and sterilized. This proactive initiative, aimed at ensuring the safety of both wildlife and livestock, was conducted through a collaborative effort involving multiple stakeholders.
The project was implemented with the active participation of the Veterinary Hospital, Rural Municipalities, the Provincial Government, the Chief District Officer’s (CDO) Office, local communities, Conservation Area Management Committees (CAMC), and security personnel.
The comprehensive approach not only addressed the immediate threats posed by feral dogs but also laid a foundation for reducing future risks to wildlife populations. This initiative highlights the power of community-driven conservation and the importance of coordinated efforts in tackling environmental and wildlife challenges.
Authorities and stakeholders have hailed the project as a successful model for managing feral dog populations, ensuring a safer coexistence between wildlife, livestock, and communities in Mustang.
