  • “Most Indian animals, except for some which are domesticated, come under the Scheduled category. Possession of any of these will be illegal, unless they are certified. With the ownership certification now, we can have computerised record. If any article is found with someone else, we can check the original possessor,” said Roy.

    Wildlife articles include items like ivory, elephant legs, skins of tiger, leopard and deer, rhino horns, crocodile teeth, tortoise eggs, bison horns, and others. It also includes Shahtoosh shawls.
