We realized that there was open and brazen trade of wild animals and their parts in districts of Amravati, Akola, Vardha, Nagpur and Yevatmal. We conducted several raids across the Districts and got several people arrested. We also worked with the Forest Department to ensure that bail applications were strenuously opposed and chargesheets were filed with proper details. These actions had a serious impact on open sale of deer antlers, porcupine spikes, wild bird meat, deer and black buck meat which were openly sold in weekly bazaars.
