Abstract

Like traditional crimes that harm human society, wildlife crime also threatens the animal population. In the present scenario, it is increasing at an alarming rate daily, ultimately leading to their extinction and an imbalanced ecosystem. Wildlife crime is committed in variable forms such as hunting, illegal wildlife trading, animal trafficking, as well import and export of medicinal plants and their products but out of them cases of Poaching were reported increasingly and thus need special attention as the poachers are increasing day by day and their urge for monetary gain is also enhancing. Although traditional methods were already implemented to reduce the numbers still, these methods had certain limitations and hence, require modification and advancement. By keeping this in mind, the current review deals with the techniques that can be utilized to combat such crimes, with special emphasis on new emerging techniques including hardware and software-based methods.
