The sale of four markhor hunting permits brought in Rs250 million for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government, setting a new record.
This noteworthy accomplishment not only demonstrates the government’s financial success but also has a favorable effect on the economy of the area.
The Toshie 1 and Toshie 2 areas received the highest bids for trophy hunting, according to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Wildlife Department.
The success of the industry is demonstrated by the estimated revenue from hunting two markhorses in these areas, which is predicted to exceed 150 million rupees.
In addition, it is anticipated that a markhor hunt in Kiga, Kohistan, will generate Rs53.7 million, and another hunt in Gahirat, Chitral, will bring in Rs52.8 million.
These sums represent not only monetary rewards but also give vital chances for nearby populations.
