A weather station has been installed in Margallah Hills National Park through a collaboration between the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board and NUTECH Pakistan to strengthen research and inform conservation efforts using technology.
The new station, deployed within Margallah Hills National Park, will collect continuous meteorological data to help scientists and park managers better understand local climate conditions. By providing real-time and historical weather information, the installation aims to support research into environmental trends and their effects on the park’s flora and fauna.
The Islamabad Wildlife Management Board and NUTECH Pakistan say the partnership is intended to marry conservation expertise with technological tools. Combining field knowledge with data collection and analysis capabilities will enable more informed, evidence-based decisions about habitat management and species protection.
Access to systematic weather data can improve planning for a range of ecosystem management needs, from monitoring habitat health to anticipating climate-related stresses. The information can also support risk assessment and response planning for events such as extreme weather or fire.
The project signals a broader effort to integrate technology into conservation work at Margallah Hills National Park. Officials describe it as a first step toward developing practical, data-driven solutions to challenges affecting the park’s natural ecosystem.
