Sindh was once rich in biodiversity and boasted a variety of habitats, mosaic of water was known far and wide for its bodies and majestic Indus Delta. Its lagoons, marshes, coasts, plains, forests and deserts were abode for a vast variety of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibian and fish. These natural resources also provided livelihoods for local communities who depended largely on these God gifted resources for fish, wood, pastures, water, soil and agriculture. It was the mighty Indus which instilled prosperity in this region over millennia through its waters and it was also responsible for shaping the different kinds of habitats where human and wild fauna lived in harmony and mutual respect.
