Book chapter (28) titled “Economics of Wildlife Crimes and Punishment: An Indian Perspective” in Part IV: Mitigating Environmental Crimes — Role of Legislature, Executive, Judiciary and Citizens, of the Book “Green Criminology and Climate Justice: A South-Asian Perspective”, edited by Shanthakumar Sanjeevi and Dhanya S, and published by Routledge: Taylor & Francis Group (2026)

Co-authored by Adv. Abhishek Kumar, The Sangyan and Adv. Himanshu Pabreja, Environmental Lawyer.

The chapter explores the wildlife crimes and punishment through the framework of law and economics (economic analysis of law, a field that applies economic theories and concepts to analyse and understand the law, to improve legal rules and promote economic efficiency). The chapter also explores the global and Indian legal framework and suggests a revision in the liability structure to create effective deterrence against wildlife crimes. Additionally, it provides an Indian Perspective (using the Indian Knowledge Systems) for tackling this transnational global challenge (a ‘Common Concern of Humankind’), contributing to the ‘triple planetary crisis’.
