Question

Which one of the following options is NOT included in the Wildlife (Protection) Amendment Act, 2022?

A.

Inclusion of a new schedule designating some species as ‘vermin’

B.

Rationalization of schedules

C.

Regulation of invasive alien species

D.

Recommendation for implementation of provisions of CITES

Solution

Correct option is A

Correct Answer: Option 1
Explanation: The Wildlife (Protection) Amendment Act, 2022 introduced rationalization of schedules, strengthened implementation of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora), and provided a legal framework for regulation of invasive alien species. However, the Act did not include the creation of a new schedule designating species as ‘vermin’; instead, earlier provisions related to vermin were removed as part of schedule rationalization.
