The Kamal Ban National Park ( Urdu: کمال بان نیشنل پارک) is a protected region located in the Mansehra District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. [1]
In January 2022, the provincial administration established Kamal Ban National Park as a national park, as part of its efforts to maintain and protect species and their respective habitats in a variety of ecosystems. This park is situated inside the Kaghan Forest Division and encompasses a total area of 5,456 acres. [2] [3]
The National Park is currently under the threat of a proposed de-notification. The Secretary to the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has submitted a summary to the Chief Minister advocating for the de-notification of the national park. However, this move has faced opposition from various stakeholders, who are concerned about its potentially adverse effects on the environment and wildlife. [4]
