Hangul population grows in Kashmir breeding centre

The number of Hangul, also known as Kashmir Stag, has grown a lot at a special place in South Kashmir called the Hangul Breeding Centre.

There were only 127 Hangul in 2008, but now there are 323.

This is great news because it shows that the efforts to protect these animals are working.

A meeting was held where important people talked about how to keep the animals safe and how to help farmers whose crops are damaged by wild animals.

They also talked about making it easier for people to visit places like Jambu Zoo to learn about wildlife.

The Hangul is the only surviving red deer species in the Indian subcontinent, and its population had dropped a lot over the years because of poaching, habitat loss, and human activities.

Now, with better conservation efforts, the numbers are slowly increasing, which is a good sign for the environment in Kashmir.
