ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Climate Change Zartaj Gul Wednesday said the Ministry of Climate Change (MoCC) was working to get the control of Islamabad Marghzar Zoo, which was at present in a shambles due to mismanagement. Zartaj Gul said the zoo itself generated thousands of rupees as number of people visited it daily. “We want to use the Margalla Hills National Park (MHNP) for eco-tourism. They are efficiently working to control poaching and hunting in the national park despite limited human resource and funds,” she said. Zartaj regretted that an IWMB ranger was shot dead in the national park for putting up resistance to hunters.
