Wildlife of Lahore District

The wildlife of the Lahore District of Pakistan includes a diverse range of natural and cultivated flora and fauna.

These green areas and old endemic trees of Lahore are home to many resident birds as well as providing to seasonal migrants.

However, with an increase in the rate of urbanisation, the ecology of Lahore has been considerably affected and bird population reduced to 85, including both residents and migrants.

Resident species include Indian grey hornbill, yellow-footed green pigeon, parakeets, bulbuls, doves, spotted owlet, Old World babblers, Old World flycatchers, mynas, woodpeckers, crows, black kites, ashy prinia, redstarts, warblers, red-wattled lapwing, kingfishers, and the Indian white-eye.

Summer visitors arrive from southern parts of the country; these include Asian koel, purple sunbird, golden oriole and cuckoos.

Changa Manga plantation is an important place for restocking projects of Asiatic vultures in Pakistan.
