Wildlife identification system launched

The Punjab Wildlife Department on Thursday launched the wildlife identification system for the safety of birds and animals.

The wildlife identification system would help carry out profiling of animals and birds, and under the system microchips would be installed in the body of birds and animals.

Each chip would carry a different identity number, which would help carry out profiling of animals and birds, sources added.

Protection of forests and wildlife was among the priorities of Prime Minister Imran Khan and the department was utilising all available resources to uplift the department, said the sources.
