Stop the Hunting of Wildlife in India
Organization information
Wildlife Trust of India
Location: Noida, India
Summary
Illegal hunting of wildlife is reported from 23 states in India. Overall, 114 mammal species, including several that are endangered, are hunted in the country. Tribal communities in India have traditionally hunted for meat and trophies, but the illegal international trade in wildlife has given hunting and poaching a new dimension. This project aims to rectify the situation through strengthened enforcement measures and the sensitisation of tribal communities, especially children.
