The first meeting of the state-level task force to control crime has been held in Karnali after the incidents of wildlife poachers have increased. In the meeting of the state-level wildlife crime control task force held in Birendranagar on Friday, there was a discussion about how to prevent and control wildlife poachers.

From that meeting, it has been decided to promote the active participation and coordinated efforts of the agencies affiliated to the state level wildlife crime control unit to discourage and control forest and wildlife crime in Karnali province.

To activate the district wildlife crime control units, the state wildlife crime control unit is going to monitor the activities of the units located in the district and provide necessary guidance and support. Sindhuprasad Dhungana, Director General of the National Parks and Wildlife Department and Coordinator of the Central Wildlife Crime Control Unit, said that since wildlife crime is not possible only through the Forest Office and the National Park Office, he will now set up a state-level committee. "If the roles of all agencies are equal here, it is not difficult to control wild animals," he said. Kedar Baral, secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Tourism, Forest and Environment, said that there is a need for various trainings such as legal procedures to identify wild animals and akhetopahar (animal parts) whether they are real or fake.
