Squirrel poaching

Squirrel poaching includes any poaching of any squirrel.

Flying squirrels are native to Florida and popular as pets.[1] There is an illegal wildlife trade in flying squirrels.[1] In October 2020 the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission disrupted a major flying squirrel poaching and smuggling operation.[2][3]

The Caucasian squirrel is a victim of poaching in Greece.[4]

Poaching disturbs the squirrel behavior of distributing seeds in tropical forests in Panama.[5]

Poaching is among the disturbances faced by the Grizzled giant squirrel in the Grizzled Squirrel Wildlife Sanctuary in South India.[6][7]

The Indian giant squirrel faces poaching in the Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary in Jharkhand, India.[8]
