Discussion
The 'Protected Areas' covering the Sanctuaries, National Parks, Conservation/Community Reserves and Tiger Reserves are notified under which Chapter of The Wildlife Protection Act-1972?
Answer: B
The Protected Areas, meaning sanctuaries, national parks, conservation reserves and community reserves, are notified under Chapter IV of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. Chapter IV is headed Protected Areas, and the provisions on tiger reserves are placed in the sub-chapter added to it by the 2006 amendment.
Chapter V is a different subject, trade or commerce in wild animals, animal articles and trophies, and Chapter VI deals with the prevention and detection of offences. The later chapters cover other matters, so none of them is the home of the provisions on notifying sanctuaries and national parks.
