An evolving avian world amid a concrete jungle Karachi's bird conservationists, wildlife photographers observe significant rise in owl population DESIGN / ILLUSTRATION: MOHSIN ALAM KARACHI: When out on an owl prowl in Karachi, it is unlikely that one will be disappointed. The metropolis, even with its characteristic jungle of concrete and unhealthy air, has, seemingly, turned into a magnanimous owls’ nest- so observe its bird conservationists and wildlife photographers. For one, bird conservationist Zohaib Ahmed has noticed a significant increase in the number of barn owls perched on window ledges, tree branches and other places the nocturnal birds deem fit for rest in cantonment areas near Nagin Chowarangi.
