The Wildlife Protection Act is a law enacted to safeguard various species of wildlife and their habitats. It aims to prevent poaching, illegal trade, and habitat destruction, ensuring that endangered species receive special protection. The Act establishes protected areas, such as national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, where animals can thrive without human interference. Under this Act, specific provisions are made for the conservation of threatened species, including the establishment of schedules that list protected animals and plants. Violations of the Act can lead to penalties, promoting awareness and encouraging conservation efforts among the public and authorities alike.
