Surge in Deer Poaching Threatens Sundarbans Ecosystem

Illegal deer hunting has surged in the Sundarbans, jeopardizing the world’s largest mangrove forest as venison becomes readily available in nearby black markets. Despite laws against its sale, the meat is being sold for Tk 450-600 per kg, making it a cheaper alternative to beef and mutton while corruption among forest officials hampers effective law enforcement efforts. Local residents often disguise themselves as fishermen to set traps, contributing to the significant rise in poaching activity.

Recent estimates suggest that over 55 poaching gangs operate in the region, leading to a rapid decline in deer populations. In response, forest officials have initiated joint operations, resulting in the seizure of hundreds of kilograms of deer meat and several arrests. The Sundarbans, with its spotted deer population reportedly growing to 140,357 in 2024, is facing a critical threat not only from poachers but also from climate change and habitat destruction. As Sundarbans Day is observed, local authorities aim to raise awareness about the importance of preserving this vital ecosystem.
