Markhor — Pakistan FATA

CITES quota conservation hunt for the iconic spiral-horned markhor in northern Pakistan. One of the rarest and most expensive trophies in the world. Revenue directly funds local conservation.

The markhor is Pakistan's national animal — a magnificent wild goat with extraordinary corkscrew horns that can reach 60"+ in mature males. Found only in the mountains of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia, markhor are listed as Near Threatened and strictly quota-controlled under CITES.

Pakistan's community-based conservation program sells a handful of markhor permits annually at premium prices, with 80% of revenue going directly to local communities for conservation. This is perhaps the world's purest example of hunting as conservation tool — every hunt preserves the species for future generations. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
