Illegal wildlife trade remains one of the most persistent threats to India’s rich biodiversity. While our country has some of the strongest legal provisions in the world and is a committed party to global agreements such as CITES, the challenges on the ground are far from over. Enforcement agencies are often confronted with highly organised criminal networks, rapidly changing trade routes, and the growing misuse of online platforms for illicit wildlife transactions. The chapter evaluates emerging challenges in online and transboundary wildlife trade, highlighting loopholes in digital marketplaces and porous borders, to outline clear and practical recommendations for strengthening India’s fight against wildlife crime. The chapter proposes enhanced collaboration with technology companies, forensic advancements, and improved intelligence-sharing across South Asia based on field realities and policy experience. It analyzes the efficacy of state-level Wildlife Crime Control Units, the role of comprehensive crime databases, and the importance of sensitizing judicial officers on wildlife protection laws and prosecution complexities. It also calls for better alignment between international obligations and national laws, inter-agency coordination, capacity building, strengthening forensic capabilities by use of modern forensic science, and fortifying surveillance at borders and transit points to prosecute cross-border wildlife crimes. Special focus is placed on strengthening border surveillance, tackling social media–driven trade, and building the skills of frontline staff through targeted training programmes. Recognising that enforcement alone is not enough, the chapter also emphasises engaging with communities dependent on wildlife trade, recommending rehabilitation programs, alternative income schemes, and targeted education to reduce poaching incentives. Collectively, these multilayered interventions are presented as a roadmap to address the socio-economic, legal, and operational complexities of wildlife trafficking, with the goal of stronger, more coordinated, and forward-looking approach to combating wildlife trade in India to preserve India’s biodiversity and ensuring sustainable development.
