A video showing a large herd of Kashmir Stag, known locally as Hangul, an endangered species, has given hope that the conservation efforts of Jammu and Kashmir government have started yielding positive results.

The video, uploaded on Twitter by a senior official of the Wildlife Department, shows around 50-strong Hangul herd on the snow-covered slopes of Dachigam national park in the Zabarwan mountain range. “When I see a Hangul herd like this in Dachigam, future seems bright!” Raashid Naqash,  Wildlife Warden, posted alongside the video.
