Biodiversity is one of the strongest natural defenses against climate change, yet Pakistan wildlife is increasingly under threat. A new exhibition, “Where the wild breathes”, presents a visual record of the country’s natural richness while drawing attention to its worrying decline.
The exhibition was formally opened at Islamabad Serena Hotel by Catherine Weibel, Director of the United Nations Information Centre, alongside artists Kamran Qureshi and Dr Ahsan Qureshi, Satrang Director Asma Rashid Khan and curator Zahra Jadun. The collaboration between artists and international representatives emphasises the cultural and environmental importance of protecting Pakistan wildlife.
Through photography and mixed media, the show documents both the beauty of wild species and the pressures they face. The works aim to spark conversation about habitat loss, changing climates and the urgent need for community and policy responses to safeguard biodiversity across Pakistan.
Open to the public at Islamabad Serena until mid January, “Where the wild breathes” invites visitors, conservationists and policymakers to engage with the images and consider practical steps to protect Pakistan wildlife. The exhibition offers a timely reminder of the links between nature, livelihoods and climate resilience in the region.
