Pakistan generated over Rs. 1.83 billion from Markhor and Ibex trophy hunting between 2023 and 2025, according to data shared by the Ministry of Climate Change in the Senate.
Balochistan recorded Rs. 760 million, Gilgit-Baltistan over Rs. 620 million, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Rs. 447.8 million, and Sindh around Rs. 3.1 million. Under the current policy, 80% of hunting revenue goes to local communities, while 20% is allocated to provincial wildlife departments.
However, the ministry revealed that no central mechanism exists to independently audit how community funds are distributed, raising concerns over financial transparency and oversight.
