Answer:
Wildlife trade in the Indian scenario can be divided into three categories as defined by the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992:
Some notable aspects of India’s export-import policy for wildlife trade are as follows:
Wildlife Exports:-
No wildlife other than six birds is permitted to be exported. These include Bengal Finch, Zebra Finch, Budgeriar, Albino Budgeriar, White Finch and Javan Sparrow .
Wildlife Imports:-
You can not import/export/possess any ‘wild animals’, as defined under the WLPA ( Wildlife Protection Act )
You can not export exotic birds except for 6 bird species
You can export exotic reptiles and mammals provided they are not covered under WLPA and follow the provisions under CITES
Popular exotic pets such as parrots, macaws, and cockatoos, falcons, red-eared slider turtles, etc. can be imported provided the importer has an LPC and CITES Import Certificate, and follows the EXIM policy
Finally, what impact does the uplisting of Indian species such as the Indian star tortoise, tokay gecko, otters etc. have for wildlife trafficking in India and internationally?
Exporting a Tokay gecko (previously unlisted, but included in Schedule IV of the WLPA) will now require certificates from both CITES MA and DGFT. However, given that much of the trade in the species is illegal, smuggling will continue to be penalized under both the WLPA and Customs Act. Notably, however, seizure of Tokay geckos in a CITES signatory nation will allow for the species to be re-exported and rehabilitated back in India.
