ISLAMABAD, May 20 (APP): As one can see and purchase different kinds of birds from different markets and even on roads, the agricultural scientists have warned that the illegal poaching of some certain species of birds was spoiling the eco system.

The poaching and sale of different birds, even rare and endangered species, is on the rise as the seller can be seen on the roads but the concerned wild life department has turned a blind eye to curtail the practice and apprehend the responsible.

The women sellers of black partridges, from far flung Punjab and Sindh area, can be seen on Lehtrar Road selling the endangered species offering from Rs 3000 to 7000.
