3.7 Illegal Wildlife Trading

The trade's scale: the world's fourth-largest illegal market (the drugs-arms-wildlife-lore); the species' faces (the rhino horn, the tiger parts, the ivory, the pangolin — the trafficking's victims), the live-animal trade (the exotic pet's market). The Nepal position: the transit-and-origin (the conservation's successes against the poaching — the zero-poaching years' celebrated record); the China-India routes' geography. The law: the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 2029 (the protected species' schedules; the offences' ladder); the Forest Act 2076's faces; the CITES (the international trade's permit system); the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (the dedicated enforcement — the police-army-park cooperation). The organised face: the poacher-to- consumer chains; the convergence with the other trades (the routes shared).
