Wildlife Protection Act

The Wildlife Protection Act is a key law in India aimed at conserving the country’s rich biodiversity. Enacted in 1972, it protects various wild animals and plants by prohibiting hunting, poaching, and illegal trading. The Act establishes protected areas, like national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, to safeguard habitats. It also sets regulations for managing wildlife, promoting conservation efforts, and involving local communities. By balancing ecological health and human activities, the Wildlife Protection Act plays a crucial role in preserving India’s natural heritage for future generations.
