According to the investigating agency, the subjects tried to legalize the origin of wildlife by listing forest products and confirming documents that were not true to reality.
Some forest rangers are accused of receiving bribes, falsely confirming the origin of forest products, making false records, creating conditions for wild animals of unknown origin to be "washed" into legal form.
Wild animals cannot appear in cages or business stores on their own. Behind each individual precious bird or precious animal being traded are encroached forests, traps set up, and gunshots rang out in the wild.
Without legalized confirmation papers, the illegal consumption of wildlife will be much more difficult.
In other words, wrong signatures can become "amulets" to help criminals hide the origin of exhibits and deceive management agencies.
Sadly, the incident occurred in the context that many forest rangers across the country are still clinging to the forest day and night, protecting natural resources in extremely difficult conditions.
Many people have faced illegal loggers, wildlife hunters, and even life-threatening situations while on duty.
There are forest rangers who live weekly in the deep forest, far from their families, enduring hardship to protect each forest, each flock of birds, each rare animal.
Therefore, degenerate and corrupt officials are even more condemnable. They not only violate the law but also damage the image of the entire force.
Looking broader, the case is a warning about a particularly dangerous link in the fight to protect wildlife.
To eradicate it from the root, it is necessary to handle the entire line from hunters, transporters, businesses to those who assist with power or assigned responsibilities.
If there are still officials willing to sign false confirmations for personal gain, then all conservation efforts will be neutralized from within.
Reality shows that many rare animal species are facing the risk of disappearing from nature. Many birds and animals that once appeared commonly are now becoming rare.
Each wild animal individual arrested in the cases is a reminder that nature is paying the price for human greed.
Wildlife cannot speak out to protect themselves. Forests cannot notify themselves of those who betray the assigned responsibility.
The law must do that, because a depraved forest ranger can cause much greater damage than forest rangers.
