LAHORE: Punjab Wildlife and Parks Department has rolled out Pakistan’s first organised ecotourism plan, designed under Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) rules. The project mixes nature trips, wildlife care, culture and learning, so that both local people and the environment gain.

The department has picked three key sites—Changa Manga Forest, Uchali Lake and Chashma Barrage—because they host rare plants and animals, officials told private newspaper.

Changa Manga Forest;

About 80 kilometres south of Lahore, Changa Manga covers 12,500 acres and is one of the world’s biggest man‑made forests. Planners expect 1.5 million visitors a year once new facilities open.

  • Information Centre, Amphitheatre, Craft Bazaar, Picnic Spots and Heritage Walk – for learning and leisure.

  • Jeep safari, electric tram, watch‑towers and nature trails – letting tourists explore without harming the forest.

  • Medical centre – ready for snake‑bite or other wildlife injuries.

  • Training for staff and locals – so nearby communities share the benefits.

At each wetland, officials aim to draw 250,000 tourists every year while keeping habitats safe through limited entry, careful planning and visitor briefings.

Planned facilities include eco‑lodges and “glamping” pods, boating and fishing decks, and children’s play areas—giving families a close‑to‑nature break in a controlled setting.

Officials say the scheme will build public interest in conservation and create new jobs, while ensuring Punjab’s rich wildlife and landscapes remain protected for future generations.
