印度发现五只濒危红毛猩猩引发走私网络调查

印度东部奥迪沙邦巴拉索雷地区发现五只濒危红毛猩猩，引发对该国非法野生动物贸易的关注1。印度尼西亚林业部已要求印度当局查明这些红毛猩猩的来源并将其遣返1。这一发现揭示了通过空运和陆路走私珍稀动物进入印度的庞大网络1。

根据交通运输网络(TRAFFIC)数据，濒危物种走私自2020年前后发生了剧烈变化，官员表示走私自2018年以来明显增加1。2022年1月至2025年5月期间，泰国与印度之间缉获的7272只走私动物中，80%以上在印度被拦截1。近期的查获案件频繁发生，包括2024年11月班加罗尔当局从吉隆坡缉获的40只珍稀动物1，2025年6月孟买海关从曼谷缉获的284只动物1，以及2025年7月浦那海关拦截从曼谷飞来的20只动物1。

执法机构在追踪走私网络方面存在滞后1。社交媒体助长了非法野生动物交易的增长1，使得打击走私工作面临更大挑战。

Five endangered orangutans were discovered in the Balasore district of Odisha state in eastern India, prompting investigations into the country's illicit wildlife trade networks 1. The Indonesian Ministry of Forestry has called on Indian authorities to trace the origin of the animals and arrange their return 1.

The discovery underscores a broader smuggling crisis affecting India's borders. Between January 2022 and May 2025, authorities intercepted 7,272 animals being trafficked between Thailand and India, with over 80 percent of seizures occurring within Indian territory 1. Recent cases illustrate the scale of the problem: in November 2024, Bangalore authorities confiscated 40 rare animals arriving from Kuala Lumpur 1; in June 2025, Mumbai customs seized 284 animals shipped from Bangkok 1; and in July 2025, Pune customs stopped 20 animals flown in from the same city 1. According to data from the Wildlife Trade Monitoring Network (TRAFFIC), smuggling of endangered species has increased significantly, with officials noting a marked increase since 2018 and notable changes around 2020 1. Enforcement agencies have struggled to track smuggling networks effectively, while social media has fueled the growth of illegal wildlife sales 1.
