Rare Eagle Recovered by Punjab Wildlife Department

The wildlife department of the Punjab government has found a rare species of eagle in the Taunsa area, which is valued at over Rs100 million in the international market.

This recovery was part of a larger operation against the illegal trade and smuggling of rare animals and birds in the province. A spokesman for the wildlife department said they acted on a tip-off and carried out a joint operation with the police, leading to the recovery of the eagle.

The suspect involved in trying to sell the eagle illegally has also been arrested. Authorities confirmed that the eagle is in good health and is worth more than $36,000 globally.

Minister Maryam Aurangzeb directed that the eagle be released back into the wild after a tracking device is attached to monitor its movements, highlighting the role of birds in maintaining ecological balance.

Additionally, she mentioned that several other rare animals and birds have been rescued and transferred to zoos, with many receiving treatment that saved their lives.
