Know about Schedules in The Wildlife Protection Act (WPA) of 1972 

The Wildlife Protection Act (WPA) of 1972 is divided into six schedule lists that provide varying degrees of protection. Poaching, smuggling, and illegal trade in animals listed in Schedules 1–4 are all prohibited. Animals included in the Schedule are completely protected from hunting, and trade and commerce involving such animals is strictly regulated. The WPA, 1972 governs wildlife conservation and protection in India. India is the first country in the world to include measures for environmental preservation and conservation in its constitution. The British Indian Government passed first such law, the Wild Birds Protection Act, 1887.

Schedule I and II – these are the most vital sections of the act.

• This section covers animals which are in the category of endangered species.
• The sections in this schedule give absolute protection to certain species and these cannot be infringed on any account.
• The animals can only be hunted if they are dangerous to human or diseased or disabled.
• Any violation is a punishable offence, the famous actor Salman Khan was sentenced to 5 years rigorous imprisonment for shooting a black buck in Rajasthan.
• The case is under appeal in the high court. In addition, 16 persons have been convicted and sentenced to various terms of prison up to 7 years for killing a tiger.

Schedule III and IV.

• These also have roughly the same provisions of Section I and II, but cover animals that are not in danger of becoming extinct or endangered, required equal protection.
• The penalties under this section are also less than Schedule I and II.

Schedule V

• This include the list of vermin animals-mice, common crow, monkey, pigs, bats, etc
• For this purpose, the hunter has to apply for a license to the District Forest Officer who will allow a hunter to shoot during a specific season and restricted area. Any infringement can lead to cancellation of the hunting license.

Schedule VI

• It concerns with the cultivation and plant life and gives teeth to setting up more protected animal parks.

What are Vermins? ·         Vermin means wild mammals and birds which are harmful to crops, farm animals or which carry disease. ·         In India, wild animals can be declared as vermin if they have become (i) dangerous to human life or property (including standing crops on any land). (ii) become disabled or diseased as to be beyond recovery. ·         The Central Government through notification may declare any wild animal other than those specified in Schedule I and part 11 of Schedule H of the law to be vermin for any area for a given period of time. ·         The hunted wildlife is declared as government property and it imposes restrictions on how these carcasses must be disposed of. ·         Currently, some animals like the common crow, fruit bats, mice and rats have been listed as vermin in Schedule V of WPA. ·         The Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has declared Wild Pig as vermin in Uttarakhand and the Monkey as Vermin in Himachal Pradesh for the period of one year for a year.
