五只婴幼红毛猩猩在印度东部奥迪沙邦巴拉索尔地区森林中被护林员发现，这一事件成为动物走私活动的重要警示1。红毛猩猩仅产于马来西亚、印度尼西亚、婆罗洲和苏门答腊的热带雨林，属于濒危物种1。印度尼西亚林业部已要求印度查明这些稀有灵长类动物的来源1。
近年来，印度已成为非法野生动物贸易的关键中转地。根据统计数据，2022年1月至2025年5月间，泰国和印度之间的行李走私中查获7272只动物，其中超过80%的截获发生在印度1。自2018年以来，走私活动明显增多，走私量从2020年左右开始大幅增加1。
海关部门在多个地点截获了大量来自东南亚的异域动物。2024年11月，班加罗尔海关缉获40只从吉隆坡运来的稀有动物，包括阿尔达布拉象龟、长臂猿、美洲鳄和鬣蜥1。2025年6月，孟买海关分四批缉获284只从曼谷运来的异域动物1。2025年7月，浦那海关截获20只从曼谷来的异域动物，其中包括14只绿树蟒、4只双眼无花果鹦鹉和2只苏门答腊纹兔1。此外，走私路线还涉及经缅甸进入印度东北部，以及从孟加拉国进入印度的通道1。
Five juvenile orangutans were discovered in a forest in the Balasore region of Odisha state in eastern India in the week prior to September 17, 2026, signaling a significant animal trafficking operation 1. The Indonesian Ministry of Forestry has demanded that India determine the source of these critically endangered animals, which are native exclusively to tropical rainforests in Malaysia, Indonesia, Borneo, and Sumatra 1.
The discovery underscores India's emerging role as a major transit hub for illegal wildlife trade. Between January 2022 and May 2025, customs authorities documented 7,272 animals seized in luggage trafficking between Thailand and India, with over 80 percent of these interceptions occurring on Indian soil 1. Recent seizures illustrate the scale of the operation: in November 2024, Bangalore customs confiscated 40 rare animals shipped from Kuala Lumpur, including Aldabra tortoises, gibbons, American crocodiles, and iguanas 1. In June 2025, Mumbai customs intercepted 284 exotic animals arriving from Bangkok in four separate shipments 1. The following month, Pune customs seized 20 exotic animals from Bangkok, comprising 14 green tree pythons, 4 dusky lory parrots, and 2 Sumatran striped rabbits 1.
Trafficking volumes have surged significantly since around 2020, with illicit activity notably intensifying since 2018 1. Smuggling routes operate through Myanmar into India's northeastern regions and across the border from Bangladesh 1.
