To the west it reaches the easternmost parts of Afghanistan. The range of the Astor markhor is very scattered. At one time considered an “endangered species”, conservation efforts have had some success and the largest subpopulation in Pakistan may now exceed 1000 individuals. As a result, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its status as “near-threatened”. NPR February 14, 2019. And not just any goat. It’s the impressively horned markhor, the national animal of Pakistan, which can stand 4 feet tall and weigh up to 300 pounds. The hunt took place in the Gilgit-Baltistan region in the north. A photo of the hunter, identified as Bryan Kinsel Harlan, and the goat was published last week in a newspaper in Pakistan, and there’s a video featuring the hunter and the dead goat as well. Some Pakistanis were furious about the shooting. But Shafqat Hussain, an anthropology professor at Trinity College and a National Geographic emerging explorer, has a different perspective. From 1993 to 1999 he worked for the trophy hunting program that issues permits to 12 people a year to hunt a markhor. He explained to NPR why he believes this enterprise benefits both the species and the local population although he does admit there are potential pitfalls.
