Wildlife trafficking, including the illegal trade of endangered species, has become a growing concern in Meghalaya. The police have taken a firm stance against this crime, which not only threatens biodiversity but also disrupts local ecosystems. Special wildlife crime units have been established to combat trafficking, working in close collaboration with environmental organizations, wildlife experts, and border security forces.
These units focus on intercepting smuggling routes, investigating illegal wildlife markets, and raising awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation. Police also work closely with local communities to report suspicious activities and deter wildlife poaching. By enhancing enforcement and providing education, the police are helping to protect Meghalaya’s rich biodiversity for future generations.
