In Pakistan government is striving to furtherance the system of protected areas for the protection of monuments, archaeological sites, buildings, endangered species, habitats, and ecosystems. Protected areas in Pakistan can be broadly categorized into two sections; they are ecosystems and archaeological & cultural sites.

In Pakistan, there already exists an extensive list of officially notified protected archaeological sites and monuments under the Antiquities Act 1975. The approach in developing these guidelines is to concentrate on the protection of the existing sites. New sites may also be notified through the federal or provincial archaeology departments.

The Federal Department of Archaeology maintains a master register containing basic and vital information on the protected monuments and sites including full measurements of the protected area, description, location and government notification with the date of protection.
