Members of all the groups belong to the village community. They are- Professional tiger poacher Shikari Pirate Trapper General Villagers Local trade: Community people believe in the medicinal values of tiger parts and a local trade of tiger parts within the community exist to help each other, maintain good relationship or for money. Commercial trade: A recent commercial demand for tiger parts by the Bangladeshi traders from other cities exist in the villages. Poacher: Their main and only business is killing tiger to supply tiger parts in the commercial trade. Shikari: Before tiger killing was ban by the Wildlife Act 1973, government used to recruit and reward people to kill tigers as they were known as man-eaters. The trend of hunting by the shikaris did not stop and practiced covertly and locally these hunters are known as shikari. Pirates: pirates patrol in the waterways of the Bangladesh Sundarbans; kidnap and collect money from the local people for fishing or entering the forest. They are community people and often come to the villages to meet their families. Trappers: opportunistically kill or injure tigers in the snare traps set for the deer. General Villagers: Kill stray tiger in the villages with different motivations.
