The Government has introduced the Wild Life (Protection) Amendment Bill, 2013 in the Rajya Sabha for stricter enforcement of laws to protect wildlife. The bill seeks to further amend the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972. Highlights of the Bill
>>
Activists have for long demanded stringent penalties for poaching but ground realities call for better implementation and higher conviction rates in the absence of which poaching will continue to thrive. If the criminals knows he will get away, they will be ready to tough it out and the cycle continues. The problem with stringent penalties is that the judiciary needs more evidence to grant stricter punishment. The primary issue here is to increase conviction rates and implement the provisions of the act. Inclusion of provisions of CITES and Gram Sabha consultation is a positive step.
