The Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources has moved to strengthen the Philippines’ wildlife conservation and protection law to address the persisting problem in illegal wildlife trade

and similar offenses.

Senator Cynthia Villar, committee chairperson, said the panel will be consolidating the two Senate bills seeking to amend the Republic Act No. 9147 or the Wildlife Conservation and Protection Act, to boost government mechanisms against wildlife trafficking. “But these were just some wildlife crimes that were detected. Many illegal wildlife trade happen every day undetected and the people behind it remain unapprehended. Their trade have been made easier with the use of modern technology and some, with the help of social media,” the senator said.

Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri, who also filed a similar proposal on the matter, likewise lamented the continued degradation of the environment and illegal collection of wildlife resources.
