PAKISTAN NATIONAL CONSERVATION STRATEGY
1. Maintaining soils in croplands.—Poor use of land (including the lack of plant cover) is leading
to waterlogging, salinity, sodic soils and erosion as well as poor composition and fertility of soil. What is
needed is control of waterlogging through growing plants which can tolerate salt, open farm drains and fish
ponds, and lessening sodicity through applying gypsum. In areas suffering from soil erosion, a permanent
cover of plants is needed as is organic and plant manuring, appropriate instruments to till the soil and integrated
pest management.
2. Increasing irrigation efficiency.—Pakistan relies on irrigation for more than 90% of its food
and fibre production. However, only about 30% of irrigation water actually reaches the roots of crops. The
rest is lost in canals and water channels or during application in the field. Increasing irrigation
efficiency
through leveling of fields, improved water channels, sprinkler and drip irrigation, and an appropriate mix of
crops, is needed. Eventually, however, a demand-based water supply managed by the communities themselves,
*
is essential.
3. Protecting watersheds.—Watershed lands in the upper Indus and its tributaries suffer from
unfavorable soil and moisture conditions, and their management for forestry, agriculture and soil and water
conservation leaves much to be desired. Modern watershed management means coordinating the action that
is necessary to control excessive soil erosion and protect farmers' fields. This can range from a change of
crops to different range management practices, from tree cover to an engineering solution. What is most
important is community participation in all these programmes.
4. Supporting forestry and plantations.—Top priority needs to be given to recognizing the vital
services provided by watershed, riverine and mangrove forests and to maintaining them. Forests used for
wood production should be used sustainably, close to their maximum yield. Tree plantations on marginal
agricultural land and planting of appropriate trees along field boundaries need to be promoted to meet rising
demand.
5. Restorign rangelands and improving livestock.—Overgrazing has brought down the
productivity of rangelands to as little as 15-40% of their potential. Three-fourths of the country's livestock are
of nondescript species and the livestock sector is caught in a downward spiral of too many sick animals
chasing too little feed. Restoring community-based management of communal rangelands is essential, along
with periodic closure to grazing, development of watering points and emergency provision of pelletized fodder
to improve livestock, the quantity and quality of feed needs to be raised high-yield variety fodder and good
quality roughage introduced and the genetic quality of local animals improved.
6. Protecting water bodies and sustaining fisheries.—Solid and liquid excreta are the major
source of water pollution in the country, while rapid growth in the use of pesticides and fertilizers have led to
contamination of water fish kills, and uncontrolled algal growth. Inefficient fisheries management has decreased
the value offish catch, and in the case of shrimp, reduced the harvest. Protecting water bodies by introducing
integrated pest management, harvesting marine fish on a sustainable yield basis and developing inland fisheries
in water ways and waterlogged land offer some solutions.
7. Conserving biodiversity.—Pakistan has given serious thought to protecting its biological
resources, yet the coverage of ecosystems in the country's national parks and protected places is far
from complete, the policing of existing parks is inadequate and management plans exist for just a few.
There is a steeply rising demand and decreasing supply of wildlife. National parks and game reserves should
be increased to represent all national ecosystems, and they should be properly managed. A national wildlife
utilization and conservation policy is needed, with participation by local communities who would be encouraged
to increase the food, fodder and fuel wood productivity of areas adjacent to wildlife reserves.
8. Increasing energy of efficiency.—Pakistan has poor energy resources, yet it is an
energy wasteful nation. A unit of energy saved through conservation, should be regarded as a unit of energy
generated. Savings in the transmission and distribution system and in the industrial sector, low-cost insulation
for buildings, energy-efficient appliances including cookstoves and vehicles, and improved bricks are some of
the methods to be promoted.
9. Developing and deploying renewables.—Reserves of oil and gas are small and very little
of the hydel potential has been developed to date. Alternative energy sources have as yet been largely
undeveloped. Energy from waste (municipal and industrial garbage and sewage) biogas plants, solar energy,
wind energy, woodfuel-based plantations on non-agricultural land and micro and mini-hydel plants are
sound alternatives.
10. Preventign/abatign pollution.—Pollution discharges of unwanted, sometimes toxic wastes
to the water, the air, or the land-is a problem most noticeable and cited in the country. Helping industry
move towards producing more with fewer inputs, towards clean technology and towards pollution
reduction is one aspect of the programme. Controlling exhaust from vehicles and moving towards lower
lead levels in petrol is another.
11. Managing urban wastes.—Only half the urban excreta is disposed of in sewers; the
remainder is deposited on the roadside, into waterways or incorporated in solid waste. Of the excreta that
reaches the sewers, most is not treated, Each day 47,920 tonnes of solid waste is generated, 17.5 million
tonnes per year. Only half is collected and then dumped on low-lying land. The main emphasis of the
programme is on waste water and solid waste disposal, safe water supplies, and self improved housing and
utility connections through community efforts.
12. Supporting institutions for common resources.—Community management of common
resources such as forests, land, sanitation systems, access roads, is crucial to the NCS. The programme will
provide seed money to rural and urban communities to manage local common property/facility projects of
their choice, provided they collectively agree to be responsible for construction and subsequent maintenance.
Anticipated outputs are better sanitation, improved access roads, sustainably managed communal forests
and grazing areas, more hygienic villages and so on.
13. Integratign population and environment tprogrammes.—It may just be possible for
Pakistan to accommodate 200 million people - the number expected to live here sometime between 2010
and 2013 by adopting the sustainable development programmes proposed in the NCS. This programme
would work to reduce the fertility rate as rapidly as possible through family planning, and encourage
migration out of fragile ecosystems while helping retain people in irrigated areas and maintaining a
sustainable rate of urbanization.
14. Preservign the cultural heritage. —With a 5,000-year history of civilization, Pakistan has a
rich cultural heritage of archaeological remains, monuments, old cities, and historic and architecturally significant
buildings and streets, as well as social customs, crafts and oral traditions for the wise use of natural resources.
But conservation of our heritage is largely neglected and physically succumbing to neglect, vandalism,
encroachment and insensitive restoration. Proper maintenance and preservation of buildings and traditions
is needed.
