TNFWCCB has busted an illegal possession and trade involving a Slender Loris and apprehended two accused persons. 🤝 Let us pledge not to encourage or accept superstitious beliefs that lead to cruelty and illegal wildlife trade.

We stay ahead, because forest & wildlife offences no longer stay offline.

Acting on credible intelligence, TNFWCCB officials intercepted an illegal wildlife offence involving a pangolin near Thiruvallur. Pangolins are among the most trafficked mammals in the world, hence every seizure is a step towards their survival.Save wildlife.

In a coordinated intelligence-based operation, the Tamil Nadu Forest & Wildlife Crime Control Bureau with the Arani Forest Range staff, successfully thwarted the illegal trade of Red Sand Boa in Tiruvannamalai. The Schedule-I species, often targeted by traffickers, was rescued from the hands of traders before any harm could occur. Two accused were arrested, and the vehicle used for transport has been seized. After a thorough health check, the Red Sand Boa was safely released back into its natural habitat, ensuring its well-being and survival in the wild, where it belongs. Kudos to the TNFWCCB team for saving this precious life. #stopwildlifetrafficking #TNForest
