The Wildlife Trust of India (WTI), in collaboration with the Department of Wildlife Protection in Jammu and Kashmir and support from Astral Foundation, has worked for two decades to conserve the critically endangered Pir Panchal Markhor. The Hirpora Wildlife Sanctuary in Shopian, hosting a viable population of Kashmir Markhor, is a focal point.
