ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Pakistan National Council of Arts (PNCA) in Islamabad recently hosted a Wildlife Art Exhibition, inaugurated by Romina Khurshid Alam, the Prime Minister’s Coordinator on Climate Change. The event aimed to spotlight the critical role of art in promoting awareness about environmental issues, specifically the challenges facing wildlife and their habitats.
In her opening remarks, Alam emphasized how art serves as a powerful medium for fostering public understanding and engagement on climate and biodiversity. By showcasing the threats faced by various species and their ecosystems, wildlife art can stimulate interest and empathy, reaching both policymakers and the general public. The exhibition illustrated the potential of visual arts, like painting, to foster important conversations on environmental protection and inspire tangible action on climate-related issues.
Alam highlighted the importance of such exhibitions in Pakistan’s broader climate action strategy, noting that art can act as a bridge between scientific data and public sentiment. The event underscored how the emotional impact of art can make abstract environmental issues more relatable, potentially motivating more people to support conservation initiatives.
