The Karoonjhar is a well-known place in the south-eastern edge of the tharparkar district sindh Pakistan. It lies the foot of an enchanting city(nagarparkar) with a great historical background.the range is approximately 19 kilometres long and reaches a height of 303 meters, and contains vast deposites of granite and Chinese clay. It is 267 kms or 165.9 miles away from Badin district. Normally,it has a great beauty but it eclipses its previous record of beauty after the onset of rain.During rainy season, no other parts in Pakistan are as beautiful as the karoonjhar and looks like Switzerland. therefore, hundreds and thousands of tourists from all over Pakistan come to visit this site. Wild flowers and grass emrege during rainy season that embellish this rocky mountain. The karoonjhar is abundant in wildlife and various kinds of animals are found here, such as gazelle,partridge,bear,peacock, jackal and wolf. unfortunately their numbers are decreasing day by day due to unfavourable condition.A part from its beauty, the karoonjhar has economic significance for the local people of this area as it is rich in mineral deposites and plant medicinal values.there is a local saying “karoonjhar yields a hundred kilos of gold regularly” A massive excavation of the karoonjhar hills has been underway to extract precious stones from the hills and use them to build building. Various corporation stick to this region like ringworm, leaving bald spots across these sacred and historic mountains. As a result, corporation and politicians are slowly depriving the people of this land of their source of life and are brutally trampling upon sacred ground.so we must demand that karoonjhar be declared a world heritage site so its culture, eco-system and way of life can be preserved for its residents today and for future generations to come. It is imperative that the government and citizens of this country take immediate steps to ensure that this valuable jewel is not desecrated in the name of progress and development
