The ever flourishing trade of wildlife body
parts, including those of the tiger, rhino and leopard, in hilly districts
namely Darchula, Baitadi and Dadeldhura in the Far-Western region of the
country along the Nepal-India border has sent alarm bells ringing among
authorities. The police in Baitadi district on Saturday arrested a man with
around 10 sets of skins of the barking deer ‘Ratuwa’. About 10 days ago, a
local report claimed that smuggling of around 10 sacks of wildlife body parts
were being ferried along Darchula district in Nepal that borders India and
China.
