Tiger is protected animal in which Schedule of the Wildlife Protection Act ?
Answer: A
The tiger is protected under Schedule 1 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
Schedule I lists the species that receive the highest protection: hunting them is banned throughout India and offences carry the heaviest penalties. The tiger, India's national animal, is listed there along with the lion, the elephant, the snow leopard and others.
Schedule II also gives a high level of protection, but to a different list of species. Schedule III covers species such as some deer with lesser penalties, and 'Appendix' is a term of CITES, the international trade convention, not a schedule of the Indian Act.
