💨 Abstract

Forest officials in Mumbai arrested a man and a woman for smuggling nine primates from Malaysia. Sadly, eight of the animals had already died before the raid, and the surviving one is critical. The smuggled species, including Siamang Gibbons, White Faced Gibbons, and Pig-Tailed Macaques, are CITES-listed and protected under the Wildlife Act. Further investigations are ongoing.
