The protected blackbucks (Antilope cervicapra), at Krishnasar Conservation Area (KCA) in
Bardiya, mid-western Nepal are in danger due to poaching and more seriously by
leopards. Within the past one month, six blackbucks were killed by leopards
while about 40 blackbucks were killed by flood in August, last year. Similarly,
tigers in Kanchanpur districts are also in danger as they are being poached for
their bones and hides. One Indian poacher was caught by the district police
recently and seized tiger hide eight feet long and 2.3 inch wide, 19 kg bones
and two pistols.
