Indonesia steps up protection on endangered species
Sumatran tigers
Jakarta - Xinhua
Indonesian attorney general office and Wildlife Conservation Society-Indonesia program (WCS-IP) have teamed up in taking measures to boost protection on endangered species in the archipelago country.
The collaboration would allow the appliance of stronger sanctions against those committed in a crime against protected animals, Noor Rachmad, a deputy attorney general at the office said on Monday.
The attorney general office and the WCS-IP on Monday signed an agreement on cooperation to raise knowledge of prosecutors on crimes against the endangered species, allowing them to file a stronger demand in such case.
"This agreement will unify our vision in preserving environment and enforcing law," he said at Aryaduta Hotel.
The official disclosed that rampant illegal trades of protected species have cost Indonesia a 10-to-20 billion U.S. dollar financial loss per year.
Indonesia is home to scores of endangered species, including Sumatran tigers, Rhino, Orang Utan and others.
