Every part of the body has specific function including the human brain.
The human brain, with an average weight of fourteen kilogram, is the control center of the body. It receives
information from the senses, processes the information, and rapidly send out responses; it lso stores the information
that is the sources of human thoughts and feelings. Each of the three main parts of the brain-the cerebrum,
cerebellum, and the brain stem-has its own role in carrying out these functions.
The celebrum is by far the largest of the three parts, taking up 85 percent of the brain by weight. The
outside layer of the cerebrum, the cerebral cortex, is grooved and bumpy surface covering the nerve cells beneath.
The cerebellum, located below the cerebrum in the back part of the skull, is made of masses of brunched up
nerve cells. It is the cerebellum that controls human balance, coordination, and posture.
The brain stem, which connects the cerebrum and the spinal cord, controls various body processes such as
breathing and heartbeat. It is the major motor and sensory pathway connecting the body and the cerebrum.

Pakistans houbara bird facing extinction

The indiscriminate hunting of endangered houbara bustard bird in Pakistan by rich hunting parties from the
Gulf nations have pushed the species toward extinction. The hunting was initially banned by the Pakistani courts,
but under continuous pressure from the provincial governments Sind, Baluchistan, and Punjab, as well as the federal
government, recently the courts lifted the ban on the hunting of this vulnerable species.
Some people in Pakistan have been advocating for sustainable hunting of the species instead of a complete
ban, but this is highly debatable. Reckless hunting for decades has pushed this beautiful species toward extinction
and it is now critically endangered in Pakistan.
No reliable or credible statistics on the population dynamics of the species are available either. Unless
specially protected by law, the species runs the risk of becoming extinct in the wild in the next few decades.
Under these circumstances, the only logical approach to save the species from extinction in the not-so-
distant future is to immediate start comprehensive captive breeding program for the species across the nation.
If the captive breeding program runs successfully and produces an appreciable number of chicks, then
reintroduction programs could be initiated in their wild habitats.
Only after rebuilding the population for some time in the wild and allowing them to breed naturally to
reach a sustainable population could some restricted hunting be planned. Currently, the low numbers have made this
species in Pakistan for this dwindling species will not work.
Game hunting works only when a stable population is activated with strict monitoring on the radio of males
to females hunted per season. If the females (no true statistics avilable) are being taken out of the population through
random hunting, the population is sure to pass through a bottleneck in the wild habitat, with high vulnerability to
eventual extinction.
The people of Pakistan need to decide what is more important-a few petrodollars or protecting the
biodiversity of the nation.
