Indus Fishing Cat Project

A curious little Desert Fox from Kirthar National Park of Pakistan made a surprise appearance on our camera trap! 📸

While these foxes usually stick to the drier, scrubbier edges of the landscape, this youngster was roaming right beside the wetland—the same habitat used by the elusive Fishing Cat.

Moments like this remind us how connected these ecosystems are, with different species sharing the same space in their own unique ways.

Huge thanks to the Indus Fishing Cat Project team for catching this adorable visitor on camera! 🦊📸

Our Caracal News just got featured by Dawn Media Group!

Dawn covered our recent Caracal sighting at Kirthar National Park, one of the rarest wildcats in Pakistan, and something we've been working tirelessly to document. The article highlights just how close these magnificent cats are to local extinction and why every single camera trap capture matters.

Caracals in Pakistan are nearly mythical at this point. With fewer than 100 individuals estimated to remain in scattered pockets across the Cholistan Desert, the Kirthar Range, and Balochistan highlands, each piece of visual evidence gives us hope that we haven't lost them yet.

We are grateful to Dawn Media Group for amplifying this critical conservation message and to everyone who has been part of this journey of documenting Pakistan's disappearing wildcats.
