The Markhor is a species of wild goat found in Northeastern Afghanistan, Northern Pakistan, parts of Kashmir, and southern Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. It is Pakistan's national animal. Markhors have tightly curled horns and a grizzled coat color. They are herbivores who graze on grasses and browse on leaves, herbs, fruits and flowers depending on the season. Markhors are endangered due to hunting for food and their medicinal horns, as well as habitat loss and competition with domestic livestock. Conservation efforts include bans on hunting and trophy hunting programs.Mammals of pakistan 2

Pangolins, also known as scaly anteaters, are mammals belonging to the order Pholidota. There are eight species of pangolins found in Africa and Asia. Pangolins have protective coats of overlapping scales covering their bodies and limbs, and can curl up into a ball to protect their undersides. They use their long claws to dig for ants and termites, their primary food source. Pangolins face threats from hunting for their meat and scales, which are used for medicinal purposes in some areas.Protected species of nepal

Dust pollution is a critical environmental and occupational concern, especially in industries such as mining, construction, and manufacturing. The adverse effects of airborne dust particles include health hazards, decreased machinery efficiency, and environmental degradation. Dust-suppressing chemicals provide an effective means to control dust dispersion by binding particles, retaining moisture, or forming protective crusts. This paper explores the mechanisms, working principles, market trends, and future directions of dust suppression technology. Advancements in eco-friendly formulations, nanotechnology applications, and automated dispensing systems are expected to drive the industry's evolution. The market for dust suppressants is expanding due to regulatory mandates and increasing awareness of environmental and occupational health standards. The analysis highlights the major application areas where dust-suppressing chemicals are essential for maintaining operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Dust-suppressing chemicals function by altering the surface tension of dust particles and binding them together, thereby reducing their ability to become airborne. These chemicals can work through different mechanisms, including:Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).pptx

Markhor
- 2. Outlines General Information. Reasons To Protect Markhor. Organizations.
- 3. Markhor Markhor is a wild goat and one of the most beautiful wild animals inhabiting the mountainous regions of Pakistan. The animal prefers living on dangerous and steep cliffs of the mountains to protect themselves from the attacks of wild predators including snow leopard and wolf.
- 4. Continue.. These animals have strong role in the food web of the mountains ecosystem and their presence ensures to keep it in shape both for nature and humans.
- 5. Scientific classification of Markhor
- 6. Subspecies of Markhor There are five-sub species of markhor are recognised by the IUCN 1. Astor markhor (Capra falconeri falconeri), 2. Bukharan markhor (Capra falconeri heptneri), 3. Kabul markhor (Capra falconeri megaceros), 4. Sulaiman markhor (Capra falconeri jerdoni), 5. Kashmiri markhor (Capra falconeri Aegoceros).
- 7. Astor Markhor Astor markhor (Capra falconeri falconeri) has large, flat horns, branching out very widely, and then going up nearly straight with only a half turn. The habitat of these animals is in the Gilgit, Skardu and Astor regions of Northern Pakistan in the valleys which branch off from the River Indus.
- 8. Bukharan Markhor Bukharan markhor (C. f. heptneri) is present in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan.
- 9. Kabul Markhor The Kabul markhor (Capra falconeri megaceros) has horns with a slight corkscrew, as well as a twist. The Kabul markhor survived in Afghanistan only in the Kabul Gorge and the Kohe Safi area of Kapissa
- 10. Suleiman Markhor Torghar Mountains are a conservation area and one of the few habitats of the, straight horned Markhor.
- 11. Kashmir markhor These animals are distributed along the Chitral Valley in the northwestern mountains of the Hindu Kush. Also called Pir Panjal markhor (after the Pir Panjal Range of Kashmir) or Kashmir flare-horned markhor.
- 12. Female markhor Male markhor Male Weight:80-110kg Long twist horns up to 1.6 meters female Weight:32-110kg Breeding 1-2 annually during fall winter
- 13. CRUCIAL ROLE OF MARKHOR IN ECOSYSTEM Valuable role in food web of mountains ecosystem. Presence ensures to keep in shape both for nature and human.
- 14. REASONS TO PROTECT WHY THEY ARE ENDANGERED SPECIES: 1. Trophy hunters want the circling horns for display. 2. Locals want the meat for food. 3. Some Chinese groups even seek out the animal for its medicinal purposes. 4. The endangered markhor is also in a fight over land with domestic livestock
- 15. IUCN Red List According to the IUCN, the worlds population of markhor is down to around 2,500 adults.
- 16. Organizations WCS and key stakeholders (Wildlife and Forest Department, MCDP, communities). WWF Pakistan. UNDP, The torghar conservation project: management of the livestock, Suleiman markhor ( capra falconeri) and Afghan Urial ( ovis oreintalis) in the torghar hills, Pakistan
- 17. Conclusion Markhor a wild goat, prefers living on dangerous and steep cliffs of the mountains Markhor was recognized in various kinds some exits in Pakistan , Afghanistan and in Kashmir Astor markhor with flat horns inhabitats in the Gilgit, Skardu and Astor regions Bukharan markhor (C. f. heptneri) inhabits in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan The Kabul markhor survived in Kabul regions while Kashmiri markhor, mostly inhabits in Kashmiri markhor. female Markhor is mostly less weight than Male Markhor breeding 1-2 annually Markhor has valuable role in food web of mountains ecosystem The world population of markhor is declining as reported by IUCN.
