‘Spies’ to help curb illegal wildlife trade

PUTRAJAYA: The Law and Enforcement Division of the Department of Wildlife and National Parks or PERHILITAN will establish an Intelligence Unit under its massive revamp which begins this month. The Natural Resources and Environment Ministry (NRE) ann-ounced yesterday that the new unit would be formed to improve networking and intelligence gathering to curb illegal wildlife trade and crimes related to wildlife.

“In order to ensure that all loopholes are addressed effectively, all the Standard Operating Procedures related to law and enforcement activities under the department would be enhanced and strengthened,” said the ministry in a statement yesterday. The revamping exercise will also see a swap of duties and scope of work between the two deputy director generals. The law and enforcement division which was previously under the supervision of the deputy director general I will now be handled by the deputy director general II.

“All senior officers in the enforcement division will be replaced according to the requirement and officers holding critical positions for more than three years will undergo a job rotation. According to the ministry, the law and enforcement division head and state directors would also be transferable to other parts of the country by the end of the year. All areas of other units under the department such as the Wildlife Crime Unit (WCU) and Investigation and Prosecution Unit will also be enhanced in stages.
