Critically endangered Tapanuli orangutan population falls after heavy rain and landslides, fuelled by climate crisis, in North Sumatra Extreme rainfall and landslides fuelled by the climate crisis killed 7% of the remaining population of the world’s rarest great ape, a study has found, prompting fears for the species’ survival. The research suggests 58 out of the remaining 800 critically endangered Tapanuli orangutans (Pongo tapanuliensis) were killed after more than 1,000mm (39in) of rain fell over four days in Indonesia’s North Sumatra province in November 2025. This equates to 11% of the local population and 7% of the entire species. Continue reading...
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) on Wednesday predicted dust and windstorms, rain and thunderstorms across most parts of the country this week from June 11–13, and warned the relevant authorities to remain “vigilant”. A press release issued by the PMD said a western disturbance is likely to approach the upper parts of the country on June 11 and persist until June 13. It added that moist currents from the Arabian Sea are also likely to penetrate the upper and central parts of the country from June 11. Scattered dust and windstorms, and rain and thunderstorms — along with isolated heavy falls and hail — are expected in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, Murree, Galliyat, Attock, Chakwal, Jhelum, Mandi Bahauddin, Gujrat, Gujranwala, Hafizabad, Wazirabad, Lahore, Sheikhupura, Sialkot, Narowal, Sahiwal, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh, Nankana Sahib, Chiniot, Faisalabad, Okara, Kasur, Khushab, Sargodha, Noor Pur Thal, Bhakkar, Layyah, Mianwali, Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Dera Ghazi Khan, Multan, Khanewal, Lodhran, Muzaffargarh, Rajanpur, Rahim Yar Khan and Kot Addu from June 11–13, with occasional gaps.

Dust and windstorms are also expected in upper Sindh’s Sukkur, Larkana, Jacobabad, Khairpur, Dadu, Ghotki, Kashmore, Shikarpur and Shaheed Benazirabad. The PMD warned that strong winds, hail and lightning may damage weak structures such as solar panels, electric poles and billboards. It also warned of urban flooding caused by heavy rains in Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Lahore and Faisalabad. Further, it said landslides may occur in vulnerable areas of upper KP, Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir from June 11–13. The statement advised farmers to manage their crops in line with prevailing weather conditions and urged tourists and travellers to exercise caution, advising them to avoid unnecessary travel during the forecast period. “All concerned authorities are advised to remain ‘vigilant’ and take necessary measures to avoid any untoward situation during the forecast period,” it added. In an advisory, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) of Punjab requested all district administrations and line departments to ensure sufficient round-the-clock staffing at District Emergency Operations Centres (DEOCs) for effective coordination, and to coordinate with the PDMA and other relevant departments to ensure a unified and prompt response. Authorities have also been directed to deploy additional staff and resources to high-risk areas, and to ensure timely and accurate dissemination of safety information and evacuation plans via electronic and social media. The PDMA also requested situation reports (SitReps) to regularly cover major developments, along with data collection and reporting for post-flood analysis and improvements. The Motorway Police have been directed to ensure regular traffic advisories, timely updates on road conditions, and guidance on safe travel. Rescue 1122 has been directed to remain alert and pre-position search and rescue teams and necessary equipment.
Gilgit-Baltistan region, famed for its towering peaks, vast glaciers and pristine lakes, is facing a sharp decline in its prized trout population as climate change, habitat loss and overfishing threaten the species. Its icy, glacier-fed waters provide an ideal environment for the breeding of trout, one of Pakistan’s most prized freshwater fish. In recent years, however, the trout population has drastically reduced due to a slew of climate and human-induced factors, which include habitat fragmentation, pollution, construction of hydropower projects, and, on top of all, overfishing. According to experts and officials, the trout population has been slashed by 50 per cent over the past two decades. “Climate change-induced flash floods have been destroying spawning habitats of trout in most streams and tributaries by changing sediments and gravel size,” said Farasat Ali, an official of the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) Pakistan. Speaking to Anadolu, he said the local rivers and streams are still in good condition, but overfishing via dynamite, net and electricity shock is posing serious challenges to trout populations. Hydropower stations, he added, pose another major challenge to trout migration and life cycles, as most projects in Gilgit-Baltistan were designed without fish ladders or bypass systems to allow fish movement. Trout, he noted, naturally move upstream for breeding, and without such provisions, entire populations of offspring could be lost in the same habitat. Inayat Ali, an assistant director at Gilgit-Baltistan’s Fisheries Department, said dramatic climate change, particularly regular floods since 2010 and glacial lake outburst floods (Glofs), have badly impacted the trout population in the region. “Trout requires fresh and clean water with good amounts of oxygen to survive and grow. While floods and landslides bring mud and rocks, which spoil the water quality and subsequently destroy the trout’s breeding grounds,” Ali told Anadolu. Improved road infrastructure adds to overfishing Not only the number, but the size of the fish has also reduced over the passage of time, reflecting the adverse impacts of overfishing. “It’s rare to catch a trout above 1 kilogram nowadays. They are mostly between 500 and 600 grams. Until a decade ago, 2kg or above single catch was normal,” Ali said. Although there have been no official surveys or statistics about trout population, conservative estimates suggest a 50pc decline in the number of fish over the past two decades, Ali added. The figure was also endorsed by Khadim Hussain, a local environment protection agency official. Hussain cited an improved road and transport infrastructure as a key factor behind overfishing and commercial catching. “Road infrastructure has been significantly improved across Gilgit-Baltistan in recent years, providing access to even far-flung areas, where lakes and streams are full of trout. It has given a boost to commercial catching,” he told Anadolu. The colonial connection Trout is not an endemic species to GB. It is an exotic species which has killed most of the region’s native fish species in many rivers and streams. British colonial officers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries introduced trout to the region. GB is home to two kinds of trout — brown trout and rainbow trout, with the former in abundance. The picturesque Ghizer district is known as a hub of trout. Fishing is banned from October to March — a six-month breeding period for trout — although the ban is often violated. Obtaining a licence for trout hunting is mandatory, according to the regional government’s law. The fisheries department issues 5,000 to 6,000 seasonal and daily fishing licenses yearly, compared to 1,000 to 1,500 a decade ago. Booming trout farming industry An increasing demand for the species has led to a booming trout farming industry across the region. “On the one hand, trout numbers are decreasing in the rivers and lakes, while on the other, its farming is on the rise in the entire region,” Ali said. Within the past three to four years, the number of trout farms across the region has soared to over 450, up from barely over 100, supplying around 600 tons of trout yearly across Pakistan. Since 2013, the fisheries department has been providing guidance and financial assistance for trout farming, which has become a “lucrative business” opening up new employment opportunities across the region. Maaz Alam, who set up a trout farm in Ghizer district in 2017, is currently supplying 10 tonnes of fish yearly to Islamabad, Lahore, Peshawar and other cities amid an increasing demand and profits. “The demand for trout is gradually increasing not only domestically (Gilgit-Baltistan) but across Pakistan as well,” Alam told Anadolu, adding that there is an 80pc to 100pc return in trout farming. A bulk of the trout production is consumed domestically, following a surge in local tourism. “No tourist returns from here without tasting a trout, which has become a hallmark of Gilgit-Baltistan.” The region, according to Alam, has the potential to export trout to the regional nations, particularly the Middle East, but it requires proper marketing and high-quality packaging. “That we cannot do without the government or a third-party support,” he said. Trophy hunting programs Farasat, the WWF official, called for community-based fish conservation and management, like trophy hunting programmes, to boost the dwindling trout population. A sustainable trophy hunting programme and greater community involvement have already helped Pakistan maintain a year-long trend of an increase in the population of its national animal, the markhor. The Gilgit-Baltistan government, last year, auctioned permits to hunt endangered markhor for a record $370,000, one of the highest permits in the world to kill an animal. The government uses the money to support local communities with initiatives such as building schools, mosques, health centres, and even providing scholarships to students. About 80pc of the amount generated through the hunting license program, launched in early 2000, is spent on local communities, while the remainder goes to the national exchequer. “This formula will boost not only fish population but also wetlands conservation of specific areas,” Farasat said.

Following such a sharp listing gain, some profit booking and short-term volatility are likely. Investors who received allotment may consider booking partial profits while continuing to hold the remaining shares for the medium to long term, given the company's exposure to the growing recycled metals industry. New investors should avoid chasing the stock at elevated levels and wait for a correction or consolidation before considering fresh entries. Overall, caution is warranted after the strong debut. Investors may maintain a stop loss at a cost of Rs 192 to protect gains, as a sustained move below this level could indicate weakening momentum, she added. Arihant Capital said the company's leadership in aluminium recycling, and its installed capacity of more than four times that of its nearest domestic competitor, augurs well. The brokerage also pointed to the company's dominant position in the automotive cast alloy segment, where it commands an estimated market share of 42-45%, and recommended subscribing to the IPO.SBI Securities said CMR enjoys significant scale advantages with an installed capacity of 4.7 lakh tonnes per annum and sees growth opportunities from expansion into wrought aluminium products and increasing demand for recycled metals. It also maintained a "Subscribe" rating.Deven Choksey Research noted that the company is well-positioned to benefit from long-term themes such as electric vehicle adoption, rising aluminium intensity in automobiles, decarbonisation and India's circular economy push.

LOWER SOUTH WAZIRISTAN: Residents on Tuesday decried the deteriorated condition of the Wana-Gomal Zam Road — one of the most important trade and communication routes in the region — as it has reached the point of near collapse. The road not only serves as a vital link between Wana and Gomal Zam but also connects Pakistan with Afghanistan through the Angoor Adda border crossing. However, years of neglect, damaged infrastructure and recurring weather-related destruction have made it increasingly difficult to navigate the route. Back in February, the strategically significant route had already been in disrepair back in February. Now, nearly four months later, residents say the road has become virtually unusable. Deep potholes, muddy stretches, broken surfaces and unpaved sections have made travel both difficult and dangerous. Several bridges and culverts along the route have also been damaged or rendered ineffective, further worsening the situation. Speaking to Dawn on Tuesday, elders from the Ahmadzai Wazir tribe expressed frustration over what they described as the administration’s indifference towards the road’s worsening condition. “The road is not only essential for the people of South Waziristan but also plays a crucial role in regional trade and economic activity,” a tribal elder said. “Its current condition is causing immense hardship to the local population and affecting business on both sides of the border.” The elders recalled that substantial funds had previously been approved for the reconstruction of the road. However, they claimed that the project was later removed from the provincial development programme, resulting in the suspension of rehabilitation efforts and further deterioration of the route. Meanwhile, the executive engineer of the Communication and Works Department, Ikram Wazir, acknowledged the severity of the situation, stating that the Wana-Gomal Zam Road had become largely unfit for travel due to extensive damage caused by heavy rains, flash floods and landslides. He said that several sections of the road had suffered structural damage, while bridges and drainage infrastructure had been affected by recurring floods. Wazir further revealed that a PC-I for the complete reconstruction and rehabilitation of the road had already been prepared and submitted to the Office of the Secretary of Communication and Works in Peshawar. According to him, the estimated cost of the project has reached approximately Rs25 billion. He added that the commencement of reconstruction work would depend on the approval of the project and the release of the required funds by the relevant authorities. An aerial view of the Wana-Gomal Zam Road in the Lower South Waziristan district of KP. — Photo provided by the author Recent rainfall has compounded the problem, triggering landslides at various points along the road and obstructing traffic movement. Travellers have reportedly remained stranded for hours as vehicles struggled to pass through damaged sections or were forced to wait until debris was cleared. According to local reports, the road has remained severely affected by seasonal rains over the past three years, with little progress made towards its rehabilitation. Besides disrupting transportation and commercial activities, the continued deterioration has created serious challenges for residents who rely on the route for business and access to essential services. Drivers operating on the road describe the journey as increasingly hazardous. Many transporters have been forced to suspend operations or take lengthy alternative routes, resulting in higher transportation costs and delays in the movement of goods. Traders say the situation has adversely affected local markets and cross-border commerce. Considered a strategic economic corridor for Lower South Waziristan, thousands of vehicles — including heavy goods trucks, passenger coaches, motorcars, double cabins and commercial transporters — use the Wana-Gomal Zam Road every day. Despite its significance for Pak-Afghan trade, local tribal elders say repeated appeals to the civil administration and the Communication and Works Department have yielded little response. PPP South Waziristan district president Amanullah Wazir called on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to take immediate notice of the issue and ensure the reconstruction of the road on an urgent basis. He emphasised that the road’s restoration was essential not only for easing the difficulties faced by daily commuters but also for reviving trade and economic activities in the region. Amanullah also urged the federal government to allocate special funds for the project, warning that continued delays would deepen the transportation crisis and further damage the local economy.
