Talk:List of Wildlife sanctuaries in Pakistan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] These may not be Sanctuaries, see wildlife sanctuary

What separates a sanctuary from all other institutions is the idea that the residents come first. In a sanctuary, every action is scrutinized for any trace of human benefit at the expense of nonhuman residents. Sanctuaries act on behalf of the animals, and the caregivers work under the notion that all animals in the sanctuary, human and nonhuman, are of equal importance.

Especially this part: A sanctuary is not open to the public in the sense that the public is allowed unescorted access to any part of the facility. A sanctuary does not allow any activity that would place the animals in an unduly stressful situation. A sanctuary does not allow medical experiments on the animals.

First I wrote on Ibex and Marco Polo sheep pages that these species are protected in Khunjerab National Park, which is a wildlife sanctuary... but when I read the above info, I removed that phrase from both articles. Waqas.usman 23:35, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
