Insect Poaching growing problem in India
« on: August 30, 2008, 06:04:30 PM »
A link to a recent article about insect poaching in India.

The sooner we get a ban on export of charismatic insects from New Zealand the better.

Another thread on the poaching of insects question.

Note the name for future reference.

A Czech national, who was sentenced to three years in prison in India for illegally collecting insects in a national park, escaped India, his supporter said Sunday.

Amateur entomologist Emil Kucera fled India via Nepal and arrived in the Czech Republic on Friday, said Vladislav Maly from the Czech Entomological Society.
