IMP. PETITION- SIGN AND SHARE !! To: Wildlife Researchers, Conservationists, Wellwishers In the upcoming session of the Indian Parliament, MPs will debate whether researchers and poachers should be treated in the same manner for a breach of law. A new bill proposes to impose substantial penalties, including imprisonment, when researchers with permission to enter a forest area default in any way. At the same time, a poacher or a person in possession banned wildlife product is let off with a fine. "The Bill states that violation of a research permit, however minor, " shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years and also with fine which may extend to twenty five thousand rupees ($370)." On the other hand, illegal wildlife trade involving species listed in Schedules I to IV, will be punishable with imprisonment up to three years, OR a fine, OR both. PLEASE TAKE ACTION -SIGN AND SHARE THE PETITION. Thank you. X
