As we get ready to celebrate World Environment Day on June 5
th, as the global host I’m glad that the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board (IWMB) was able to help with the rescue of an Asiatic Black Bear cub called Daboo. He is a 3-4 months old bear cub poached from a forest in Azad Kashmir, where his mother was killed when he was just a little baby. He was brought to Rawalpindi and rescued from a terrible future in “bear baiting” or “bear dancing” by animal lovers. Bear baiting is a cruel practice that has been banned but still continues illegally in the Punjab in rural areas. Daboo was in bad shape with his ears cut and needed urgent and sustained medical attention and care.

Labourers paid rich tributes
May 2, 2021
ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to Prime Minister (SAPM) on Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam on Saturday paid rich tributes to the labourers and workers on World Labour Day.
The labourers were the foundation to the development of any nation and their role in society was crucial towards nation-building, he said, adding, “That’s why we are providing maximum daily waged jobs under massive plantation and green initiatives,” the SAPM said in his message on Labour Day.
Amin said that World Labour Day was celebrated in the memory of the uprising of labourers in Chicago back in 1886 where people used to pay homage and tribute to their sacrifices.
