About Shams

Shams Uddin in a wildlife guide and protector from Chitral valley, northern Pakistan.

Background

My name is Mr. Shams Uddin. I come from Chitral valley, northern Pakistan. I have a love for nature. I realize the needs, importance, and role that wildlife plays in balancing the ecology and making the world livable for us. So I work to protect wildlife according to my capacity, skills, and knowledge. I feel that there is an intimate relationship between wildlife survival and the activities of human beings, and it is time for people to come forward to protect endangered wildlife species by developing wildlife-friendly habits and activities.

Besides my interest in wildlife and nature, trekking, tour operation, guiding, and involvement in community development are areas of interest.
