Alarmed over the recent confiscation of 250 rare quality falcons at the Multan airport, the Pakistan government has imposed a ban on the export of the birds to save them from extinction.

Only those falcons would be allowed to be re-exported which the visiting Arab Sheikhs bring with them for hunting."
