印度东部奥迪沙邦上周在巴拉苏尔地区森林发现5只幼年红毛猩猩，引发走私怀疑1。该物种仅分布于印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛和婆罗洲1，其在印度出现明显属于异常情况。奥迪沙邦林业和环境部长甘尼什·拉姆·辛格·库蒂亚表示："我们怀疑它们可能被一个国际野生动物走私团伙释放在巴拉苏尔地区森林中"1。印尼林业部随后要求印度查明其来源并可能予以遣返1。
近年来，印度缉获的走私动物数量大幅增加。2024年11月，班加罗尔从马来西亚吉隆坡查获40只稀有动物，包括阿尔达布拉象龟、长臂猿、美洲鳄和鬣蜥1。2025年6月，孟买从泰国曼谷查获284只外来动物，包括蛇类和乌龟1。同年7月，普纳从曼谷来客查获20只外来动物，包括14条绿树蟒、4只双眼无花果鹦鹉和2只苏门答腊条纹兔1。
数据显示问题规模正在扩大。2022年1月至2025年5月期间，泰国与印度之间查获的走私动物达7,272只，其中80%以上在印度被截获1。2020年后走私活动量大幅增加1，表明跨国走私网络的组织化程度和运作规模都在不断扩张。
Authorities in Odisha state in eastern India discovered five juvenile orangutans in a forest in the Balasore region last week, raising alarm over the nation's role as a transit hub for illegal wildlife trafficking.1 The orangutans belong to a species native only to Indonesia's Sumatra and Borneo islands, prompting Indonesia's forestry ministry to request that India investigate their origin and consider their return.1
Odisha's forest and environment minister Ganesh Ram Singh Kutia expressed suspicion that "they may have been released in the Balasore forest area by an international wildlife smuggling gang."1 The discovery underscores a troubling pattern: India has recorded a sharp increase in seizures of smuggled animals in recent years, reflecting the expanding scale of transnational trafficking networks.1 Between January 2022 and May 2025, authorities seized 7,272 smuggled animals moving between Thailand and India, with over 80 percent intercepted on the Indian side.1
Recent seizures illustrate the scope of operations. In November 2024, Bangalore authorities confiscated 40 rare animals from a shipment originating in Kuala Lumpur, comprising Aldabra giant tortoises, gibbons, caimans, and iguanas.1 In June 2025, Mumbai intercepted 284 exotic animals from a Bangkok shipment that included snakes and turtles.1 In July 2025, Pune authorities stopped 20 exotic animals from a traveler arriving from Bangkok, including 14 green tree pythons, four burrowing parrots, and two Sumatran striped rabbits.1 Smuggling activities have intensified dramatically since 2020.1
