The area is rich in gemstones[citation needed] and is home to a number of rare species of wildlife, such as the Astor markhor (a species of ibex) and the snow leopard.[1] Dofana Mountain and several forests are nearby.[2] Hunting permits are available.[3]
In 2003, the International Union of Nature Conservation launched a pilot to test the concept of community-based forest management in the Dashkin–Mushkin–Tarbuling Forest as part of the Mountain Areas Conservancy Project, an initiative aimed at sustaining biodiversity in Karakoram-Hindu Kush in the western Himalayan mountains in northern Pakistan.[4][5][6][7]
