WWF TCP has committed Rs 2,50,000 to TRAFFIC-India for field consultants in Northern, Eastern, North Eastern India and Delhi, for investigating poaching incidents and trade related to tiger derivatives. A sum of Rs 100,000 has already been transferred to TRAFFIC- India. A survey has also been conducted in and around the Sundarban Tiger Reserve in West Bengal.
The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), operating along the borders with China will, with the assistance of TCP, get special training to control illegal trade in tiger parts.
