Bears belong to the family Ursidae, under the order Carnivora with eight extant species (Grzimek, 2003). Roberts (1997) cite the presence of Himalayan brown bear, Himalayan black bear and Balochistan black bear in Pakistan. Dhirkot National Park (2008), Banjosa Nature Reserve (2009), Tolipir National Park (2008), Pir Chanasi National Park (2010) and Pir Lasura National Park (2009) were surveyed. A broad-spectrum investigation was conducted where the number of bears observed directly; pictures from surveillance cameras (Arc View GIS 3.3, 1992-2002) and at the same time indirect indicators such as bear scats, walking trails, paw prints and fur samples were noted …

The present study was designed to find species composition and diversity of insects existing at different trophic level of food chain in coniferous forest of Rawalakot valley. The study was conducted from November, 2016 to September, 2017. The researcher recorded 53 species of insects belonging to 42 families. The herbivorous insect species feed on 134 plant spp. of the study area. The greater population density of herbivores indicates that plants are under more threat to insect pests. The present study provides base line information about the insect community of forest and need further screening of insect pest species to control …
