1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Society and natural environment are two components of nature. The interaction between these

two components existed since the human species appeared in this planet. In the past as well as in

the present due to the degradation, deforestation and fragmentation of forest blocks many

wildlife species have lost their natural habitats and are in the verge of extinction.

Illegal wildlife trade is one of the threats for the survival of endangered species; especially the

trade of flagship species products is in ever-increasing trend. In recent years, the increased value

and demand of wildlife derivatives for traditional medicines and fashion accessories have

significantly contributed wildlife poaching and illegal trade throughout the world.

Multiple stratum and network of poachers, middleman, domestic and international traders are

supporting the illegal wildlife trade syndicate and have expanded at national, regional and

international levels. The intermittent confiscation of wildlife derivatives such as rhino horn,

tiger-otter-leopard skin, bones, musk pods and other trophies by the police and forestry

professional have proved that the illegal network is constantly active in wildlife trade and

trafficking in Nepal. So it is a huge challenge for the conservation stakeholders to control illegal

trade of endangered and protected flora, fauna and their parts.

Wildlife Conservation Nepal (WCN) is one among the many stakeholders working in the field of

protection and conservation of endangered species. It is the only organization monitoring illegal

wildlife trade ever since its establishment. It is established with a view to protect and conserve

natural heritage and disseminate information on environment and wildlife issues. It conducts

field level activities to safeguard wildlife species in their natural habitat. It designs and conducts

researches, trainings and workshops and enhances capacity of enforcement officials in combating

wildlife trade. And moreover, it provides leadership trainings to young individuals and students

so that wildlife is protected in their natural habitat.

This study is about illegal wildlife trade which is one of the major areas that WCN works.

1.2 Objectives of the study

The general objective of the study the environmental justice of different wildlife crime cases

registered in the different judicial bodies of Kathmandu Valley. The specific objectives of this

study are to:

Enumerate the wildlife crime cases recorded in different judicial bodies of Kathmandu

Valley.

Differentiate the wildlife crime cases registered.

List out the total seizures.

Involvement of different ethnic group in wildlife crime.

Analyze the time taken for decision making.

Analyze the judicial decision making on the wildlife crime.

Study the total contribution of WCN in illegal wildlife trade control.

1.3 Scope of the Study

The study has focused on the study of wildlife crime cases recorded in different judicial

organizations of the Kathmandu valley oversees the conservation related; works, issues, crimes

and judgment. The study includes 3 district forest offices and 2 courts located within the valley.

They are Kathmandu district forest office, Bhaktapur district forest office, Lalitpur district forest

office, Supreme Court and Appellate court.

1.4 Limitation of the Study

The major limitation of the study is inaccessibility in data collection in information centers. So

the study was confined to 5 years.

2 MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY

2.1 Study Area

Kathmandu valley is the capital city of Nepal. It is the nation’s main business center and

largest market. People of different economic status reside in the Kathmandu. So people are

indulged in various activities for the livelihood. Every product that is produced within or out

of nation comes over this area. Wildlife trade is one among different types of trade that runs

over the valley. Though it is one of the least concern trades in the nation but it costs a lot and

carries huge amount of money. Different types of wildlife parts or organs are used in trade to

earn money and the trade goes within the valley. Killing or poaching of wildlife occurred

over the whole nation finally ends at Kathmandu valley. This is the biggest spot where

wildlife related trade occurs.

2.2 Data Collection

Data relevant to the objective of the study were collected from different judicial authorities.

The collected data were compiled and analyzed.

2.3 Methods of Analysis

Data were filled in the Microsoft excel 2007.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The numbers of wildlife crime cases registered in last five years i.e. from beginning of year 2063

B.S to the end of 2068 B.S at different organizations trademarked as the watchdog of the

conservation of nature and wildlife of Kathmandu valley varied highly. Altogether, 98 wildlife

related crime cases were collected from 5 different judicial information centers. The highest

cases; 43 cases out of total were recorded at Kathmandu district forest office and the least (5)

cases were recorded at the Appellate court. Figure 1 given below shows cases recorded in 5

different judicial information centers.

recorded on birds. Similarly, 8 cases were found related to medicinal herbs. Of which case on the

illegal trade of Yarshagumba was found higher. There are 4 cases recorded on collection and

illegal trade of orchids. The species wise wildlife cases are presented in figure 2 below. Detailed

species wise wildlife cases are given in the appendix.

3.2 Total Arrestees

In total of 98 wildlife crime cases, 210 persons were found indulged in the wildlife trade. 202

among the total persons indulged in the wildlife trade were captured and were taken legal action

as per rule specified in “National park and Wildlife Conservation Act- 2029”. And remaining 8

3.3 Involvement of Ethnic groups in Wildlife Crime

In total of 210 persons indulged in the illegal wildlife trade in 98 different cases, majority of

people were found to be of Indigenous background. 125 persons among the total of 210 people

recorded as a wildlife criminals were indigenous people. This accounts 60 percent of the total

people involved in the wildlife crime. Persons of Brahmin and Chhetri as an ethnic identity

involved in wildlife crime were found to be 4 times lower in comparison to people of indigenous

background involved in illegal wildlife trade. 16 percent of people listed as wildlife criminals are

of this ethnicity. The reason behind the higher involvement of indigenous people in wildlife

crime might be because of their settlement nearby the protected areas; these people are highly

marginalized, uneducated and unemployed which cause the involvement in illegal wildlife trade

as best alternative job to earn and sustain life. 21 percent of people found to be involved are

unidentified due to privacy of information centers which denied collecting detailed information.

3 percent of total people involved in wildlife crime were foreigners. Most foreign illegal wildlife

4 CONCLUSIONS

Illegal wildlife trade is one of the threats for the survival of endangered species. Increased value

significantly contributed wildlife poaching and illegal trade on enormous amount. Altogether 98

wildlife crime cases were found to be recorded in last 5 years from date 2063 B.S to 2068 B.S at

five different judicial organizations of Kathmandu Valley. The data collected was filled in MS

Excel 2010 for the analysis. Among total cases studied the highest-43 cases were recorded at
