This #WorldEnvironmentDay, join WCT’s Dr. @anishandheria (President), @c_samyukta (Forensics expert); & @MridulaRaghavan (Env. Lawyer), on June 5, 2022, at 5 p.m., on our @TwitterSpaces for a live audio conversation on the illegal wildlife trade crisis in #India. #TrappedInTrade

🚨NEW

While we have been distracted by all the ongoing controversies in India, on Saturday, @moefcc quietly began public consultations about some problematic changes it has proposed to one of our key environmental laws.

Worryingly, it has given only 15 days to send feedback.

[Debadityo Sinha @debadityo]

The “no questions asked” approach of the advisory has instigated an increase in the smuggling of animals via India’s porous North – Eastern borders as acknowledged by the officials of @WCCBHQ in this article by @nabarun_guha45 in @MongabayIndia https://t.co/rVnNNCVebc

[Debadityo Sinha @debadityo]

An RTI response obtained by @Vidhi_India shows that till May 2021- 43,693 applications for amnesty have been made under this advisory from 30 States & Union Territories of which more than half came from WB & Kerala, and TN alone!

[Debadityo Sinha @debadityo]

This advisory by @moefcc giving ambesty to owners of exotic wild animals w/o any documentation not only violates Indian laws, but also India's commitment under @CITES. Read this detailed legal review co-authored with @MridulaRaghavan

Only Carrots, No Stick - @debadityo & Mridula Vijairghavan write on how in regulating the trade in exotic live animals in India, the govt.'s approach is both legally unsound & violates international conventions.👇🏽#WorldEnvironmentDay
