Quick Summary:

Bangladesh’s forest department has recently included modern technologies and tools to strengthen its crime combat arsenal, after having lagged behind its surrounding countries for over a decade.

Since establishing the WCCU in 2012, Bangladesh’s wildlife crime controllers have rescued around 35,000 birds, more than 10,000 reptiles and around 13,000 mammals and seized around 14,500 wildlife parts.
