Afghanistan's National Environment Protection Agency (NEPA) announced on Monday (March 10) that it has successfully released more than 15,000 birds and animals back into the wild over the past year.
According to Hamed Safi, head of NEPA's natural heritage conservation department, around 15,313 animals and birds were confiscated from traffickers and rehabilitated before their release.
Safi emphasized that NEPA has initiated a nationwide campaign to combat the hunting of birds and animals, aiming to protect Afghanistan's unique environment. The country is home to various rare species, including falcons, vultures, snow leopards, bears, and several types of antelopes and wild goats.
To further safeguard wildlife, the Afghan interim government has imposed a ban on hunting birds and wild animals, fishing in rivers, and cutting down trees in forests. These measures reflect a commitment to environmental conservation and the protection of Afghanistan's rich biodiversity.
