"The amendment Bill is likely to be introduced in the Monsoon Session of Parliament. We will be able to tackle wildlife crime effectively and assist States in investigation," Environment Secretary Pradipto Ghosh said.

The Centre has also asked the States to deploy uniformed personnel in national parks and sanctuaries during the monsoon season, when poaching is at its peak. Personnel from other State services are likely to be borrowed for wildlife protection, Ghosh said. Wildlife protection is a part of State's responsibilities, although the Centre has asked Central Bureau of Investigation to investigate poaching cases after reports of disappearance of tigers from Sariska.

"The Centre has put in place measures to extend forensic support to States," Ghosh said. The Wildlife Crime Bureau is expected to comprising wildlife, investigation and police experts.

While tightening domestic protection and investigation, efforts have been made to impress upon China, main recipient of tiger body parts, to crack the whip on illicit wildlife trade.

"China has imposed a legal ban on the use of tiger body parts in traditional Chinese medicines. They have made it an offence to display and wear parts (like pelt and claws). Certain offences even meet death penalty," Ghosh said. China is the main destination for illicit trade from India through Tibet. Efforts of wildlife experts have also yielded result. Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama has appealed to his followers to distance themselves from the illicit trade.

A Tiger Control Authority, proposed by the tiger task force, is also in the offing after it is scrutinised by Parliamentary Committee.
