'BABARIYA: A COMMUNITY OF PROFESSIONAL TIGER POACHERS' - article in Republica (Nepal Republic Media) of 17-02-2016 by Chhatyal, D.

The Babariya, from India, are very good at what they do. They do tigers. Although they only get a fraction of the value of a tiger sold on the black market, they take honour in their trade. When they get the instruction, they move to the reserve targeted and start work. In one year, in one region in Nepal, they killed 8 tigers. At least.

The Nepalese studied them for about a year and know how they work. They also know that most parts of what used to be a wild tiger are moved to China and Vietnam. Although in custody now, the Babariya will be set free one day. As tiger hunting is their business, chances are they will continue in the way they did. I wonder if it would be possible to turn these specialists, who know all the tricks, into rangers:
