Rann of Kutch Wildlife Sanctuary is located in Badin District, Sindh, Pakistan.

The Rann of Kutch wildlife sanctuary lies in the southeast of the province Sindh bordering India. The marshy Runn of Kutch and its surrounding desert area in Sindh is one of the most potential habitat for numbers of animal and birds in the province. This area is known to be a breeding ground for flamingoes and staging ground for pelicans, cranes, storks, and many species of waterfowl and also important site for animals like wild ass, Blue bull, chinkara, and desert wolf, which have been sighted regularly. This area used to have the only population of the Indian Wild Ass or Onager in Pakistan. Unfortunately they are thought to have been exterminated.
