Following a request from the Government of Pakistan, the Foundation furnished financial support in order to reintroduce, with the help of the Game Conservancy, a viable population of Cheer Pheasant (Catreus wallichi) in the Margalla Hills, via the shipment of eggs from breeding birds in the U.K
Over a period of 3 years, 1,000 cheer pheasant eggs were produced , sent to be hatched in Pakistan, and the products released to the wild.
The operation has been continued under the sponsorship of the World Pheasant Association.
