In the province of Paktika, the National Environmental Protection Agency's provincial division freed a bird from hunters.
This bird is known in English as (common buzzard), in Latin as (buteo buteo), in Pastho as (sar khel), and in Dari as (lashkhoor). According to the Natural Law of 1389, this bird is on the endangered species list.
The sarkhal is a well-known bird that contributes to the preservation of a healthy ecology. The stomach of the bird has an acid that makes it simpler to digest the bones of dead animals rather than eating their flesh. It not only protects the environment from pollution, but it also serves a vital ecological function in disease prevention.
The current bird is found in Afghanistan and lives in deserts, where it is used to hunt prized eagles.
This bird is one of the least endangered species on the list of the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
