10 Apr 2022

Odisha’s Special Task Force (STF) and Forest department have together seized closed to 45 leopard skins in past two years. It indicates that 5% of the State’s leopard population has already been poached. The analysis of poaching cases reveals that the killings of big cats is taking place not only at the instance of organised crime networks, but majorly due to random hunting.

Ever since the STF of State Crime Branch has been assigned to go after wildlife offenders, the number of detection of poaching cases has gone up.
