A Saudi prince has been accused of killing 2,000 endangered birds during a safari in Pakistan earlier this year.
The birds, known as houbara bustards, are on the brink of extinction and protected globally under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.
Each winter, they migrate from central Asia to the warmer climate of Pakistan.
Prince Fahd bin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, better known as Prince Fahd bin Sultan, is said to have gunned down 1,977 of the birds on reserved and protected areas over 21 days in January, the Karachi-based Dawn newspaper reported.
