Mandate

The Tamil Nadu Forest and Wildlife Crime Control Bureau is entrusted with the critical responsibility of safeguarding the state's forest resources and wildlife. Our mandate encompasses investigation, prevention, and prosecution of all forest and wildlife-related crimes.

We coordinate with multiple stakeholders including forest departments, police, customs, and international agencies to create a comprehensive network against wildlife trafficking. Our jurisdiction extends across all forest areas and wildlife habitats in Tamil Nadu.

The Bureau also focuses on capacity building, training forest personnel in modern investigation techniques, and raising public awareness about wildlife conservation. We maintain detailed databases of wildlife crimes and criminals to support evidence-based enforcement strategies.
