LAHORE: The Punjab Wildlife and Parks Department has started using modern thermal technology to detect the presence of black deer and Houbara Bustard to ascertain the population of these two endangered species and take steps to save them from extinction.

Senior Punjab Minister Maryam Aurangzeb, who also holds the portfolio of forests and wildlife, said on Monday that Punjab has taken the lead over all the provinces in the use of modern technology. The Wildlife and Parks Department will use modern thermal technology for conservation by detecting black deer and Houbara Bustard. She said both are rare species and facing threats to their survival.

The Chief Minister Punjab had directed the use of thermal drone technology at the suggestion of Senior Punjab Minister Maryam Aurangzeb.
