Harnessing Technology-based Tools fr Enhanced Enforcement

Illegal trade in wildlife involves multiple stages and actors beginning with poaching in wild areas and subsequent movement of contraband through various channels. High-altitude Himalaya are characterized by difficult accessibility and extreme weather which makes constant monitoring and evidence collection a challenging task. This is where technology-based tools can be leveraged to enhance monitoring and help enforcement agencies in effectively intercepting and bringing perpetrators to justice.
