January 2010. A tiger skin has been seized from three traders in Kerala following an undercover operation by the Indian Forest Department earlier this month. The traders have been arrested and a search has been launched to catch the poachers responsible for killing the tiger. The operation was carried out by the Forest Flying Squad.
Preliminary enquiries revealed that the tiger had been hunted in the forests in Wayanad.
Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) has been assisting the Kerala Forest Department in wildlife trade control in the state.
