Abstract

ABSTRACT In spite of the prominent Wildlife (Conservation and Security) Act, 2012, and many international treaties and agreements to curb the illicit wildlife trade, Bangladesh’s biodiversity is crashing. Illicit trade thrives because the country lacks the administrative, legislative, and technological capacity to implement legal safeguards. This commentary discusses the challenges and ways to prevent wildlife-related crimes and conserve biodiversity in Bangladesh with the collaboration of international legal frameworks.
