Abstract

This paper poses a critical discussion on the typology of Poachers in Bangladesh on the basis of different social contexts and realities. It raises a question about the role of Wildlife Act 2012 on conservation of wildlife and ensuring social justice to the sects of the population who has a symbiotic lifestyle with the nature. Also, the background of poaching in different areas, social, economic condition and political affiliation of poachers of different type is discussed. I used ethnographic method to collect data from different parts of Bangladesh.
