‘Bird habitats in DHA Phase 8 need to be protected’
KARACHI: In our blind quest for building lavish housing projects, we are destroying nesting and resting places of other creatures. This is tragic. The Defence Housing Authority (DHA) will do a great service if it protects the few birds’ habitats left in its fast expanding Phase 8, currently home to more than 35 bird species.
These views were shared by a group of photographers participating in an exhibition which opened at the Pakistan American Cultural Centre on Friday.
Titled ‘Birds of Sindh’, the exhibition is the fourth on the same subject in two and a half years by veteran wildlife photographer Mirza Naim Beg and his team that included mostly amateur photographers. So far, the group has recorded more than 270 bird species over the past four years.
This time, however, three female birders have also joined the group.
