Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Roy Cimatu on Sunday (June 14) appealed to authorities to ensure the imposition of maximum punishment on habitual environmental law offenders.

The DENR chief made the statement after an illegal wildlife trader who was apprehended and charged last year was again caught in an entrapment operation in Sampaloc, Manila last June 6.

Sharon Jonjon Lim, a resident of Sta. Mesa, Manila, was supposed to sell two brahminy kites , locally known as “lawin,” for P10,000 each to a policeman who posed as buyer of the endangered birds. He is again facing criminal charges for violating Republic Act No. 9147, otherwise known as the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act.

Lim was convicted in the previous offense and was sentenced to a jail term of up to two years and fined P40,000. Since his sentence was less than two years, Lim applied for probation.
