What are the laws for wildlife trade in India?
The Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 of India prohibits the trade of over 1800 species of wild animals, plants, and their derivatives (GoI MoEFCC 1972). The wildlife trade is expanding rapidly, driven by the demand for rare species, species with ornamental parts, and species with medicinal properties (Hughes 2021).
