“Don’t buy trouble” warns TRAFFIC India

New Delhi—TRAFFIC India has advised tourists to be careful what they buy as souvenirs during their travels.

The message comes in the form of four eye-catching posters depicting models handcuffed next to confiscated wildlife goods, under the heading “Don’t Buy Trouble”.

Targeted at domestic and foreign tourists in India, the posters deliver a clear message that end consumers are as much partners in wildlife crime as the traders or poachers who deal in or hunt protected species of wildlife. If found guilty, offenders are liable to hefty fines and up to 7 years imprisonment.
