Kashmir Markhor is the sub-specie of markhor, also known as Pir Panjal markhor. These are found in the Chitral valleys of Khyber Pakhtun Khawa province of Pakistan. They are hunted under a community-based hunting program. In the past, in a survey conducted by CITES and WWF with the help of the Wildlife Department KPK, only 300 markhors were seen. Then, the government started a community-based hunting program and issued only four hunting permits for Kashmir Markhor per year. Then, 80% of the revenue collected through trophy hunting is donated to the local community, encouraging them to stop poaching it as a food source. This hunting program succeeded, and 4,000 markhors were counted in a subsequent survey. It’s easier to hunt than an Astor markhor or Suleman markhor, but a hunter must be prepared to climb. A 40-inch horn is considered representative.
