"Students of BS Zoology (6th Semester), University of Swabi, successfully completed their internship with the Department of Wildlife and Forestry, Mardan. The internship provided knowledge on IUCN Protected Areas, including National Parks, Wildlife Sanctuaries, and ex-situ & in-situ conservation facilities. Students demonstrated a feasibility study for declaring biodiversity hotspots as protected areas, conducted field visits to Baja Wildlife Park, prepared a management plan, and gained insights into Pakistan’s ecological zones, wetlands, Ramsar sites, and migratory species. They also visited game reserves and Peshawar Zoo, furnished comprehensive reports, delivered presentations on wildlife management and protection, and actively participated in official activities at the DFO Mardan Wildlife Division. We extend our sincere gratitude to Sir Munsif (DFO Mardan) for his kind supervision and guidance throughout the internship and to Ma’am Dr Nazish Shah and Ma'am Kubra Bibi for their continuous support from the university."
