In the Northern Areas, the concept of organised trophy hunting was first developed by the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme, WWF and Forest Department, Northern Areas. The Bar valley was selected for the implementation of this programme because of its abundant ibex population. The prototype-hunting programme has evolved into a sustainable trophy hunting initiative. Hunting has thus become an effective tool for the conservation of wildlife in the Northern Areas and also attracts good foreign exchange.
