  • National Zoo Policy Preamble

    National Zoo Policy Preamble

    National Zoo Policy Preamble 1.1 The growing awareness for nature & wildlife conservation has made zoos a popular institution. Estimates indicate that 10% of the world's population visit zoos every year. There are about 350 animal collections in India, which are visited by more than 50 million people annually. 1.2 While there is a history of scientific interest, conservation and welfare of captive wild animals in the country, many zoos have evolved from menageries and private collections, and most zoos until the last two decades were set up mainly for entertainment and recreation. As wildlife resources were abundant in the past, scientific knowledge about the behavioral and biological requirements of animals did not receive adequate attention, with the result that scientific management of wild animals in captivity has evolved slowly. 1.3 The need for making conservation as one of the main objectives of management of zoos was realized by Government of India soon after independence and the Indian Board of Wildlife made important recommendations in this regard. The Government set up an Expert Committee on Management of Zoos in Noverber,1972 and its recommendations were accepted in June,1973. The recommendations are relevant even now for improving the management of Zoos. The National Wildlife Action Plan of 1983 again emphasized the role of ex- situ conservation in national conservation efforts. However, because of varied ownership patterns and divergent nature of animal collections not much was achieved. 1.4 Today when wildlife habitats are under severe pressure and a large number of species of wild fauna have become endangered, the zoos have not only to sustain their own populations but also augment the depleting populations of endangered species in the wild.

A brief account of important national level organisations is given below: Indira Gandhi National Forest Academy, Dehradun The erstwhile Indian Forest College, Dehradun established in 1938 to train officers of the Superior Forest Service, was upgraded as IGNFA in May 1987 to function as a staff college for the IFS under the administrative control of the MoEF. The IFS officers are appointed to faculty as well as administrative positions on central deputation for fixed tenures by the MoEF under the Central Staffing Scheme. The Academy prepares a cadre of competent forest officers to manage India’s forest resources and serves as an apex institution for capacity building of forestry personnel. The Academy organises forestry professional induction training courses for the IFS probationers, skills-upgradation courses for the promoted IFS officers and a number of regular in-service refresher courses, training workshops and seminars for officers of various levels of seniorities. A number of trainers and trainees from foreign countries have undergone professional courses in the Academy. The Academy is also developing capacity for knowledge management in the forestry sector. Directorate of Forest Education, Dehradun After reorganization of FRI and Colleges and creation of ICFRE in the year 1987, the Directorate of Forest Education now functions under the direct administrative control of the MoEF.

    Online Portal will bring transparency and accountability in the process of recognition of Zoos in the Country : Prakash Javadekar By : INVC Team Published On : 12 Sep, 2014 06:08 PM IST INVC, Delhi, Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Shri Prakash Javadekar here today launched an Online Portal for Grant of Recognition to Zoos and Monitoring of Zoos. Shri Javadekar also launched an E- archival and retrieval Management system for the Central Zoo Authority and a book on “Zoos in India 2014”. The Online Portal for grant of recognition and monitoring of Zoos envisages maintaining and providing real time information about the recognition and evaluation process to the stakeholders. The portal intends to reduce the bottlenecks of manual recognition system and fully automates the recognition process. This would help in saving time and resources, make record keeping communication easy and convenient and reduces the need of human intervention and thus probability of errors and delays. It would increase transparency, efficiency, accountability and also reduces the use of paper. The E-Archival and Retrieval Management System is systematic approach to the management of files which is essential for organizations to protect and preserve files. E-Document Archival & Retrieval Management Information System ensures that information can be easily preserved and maintained for future use. The book “Zoos in India, 2014” - Legislation, Policy, Guidelines and Strategy 2014 is an attempt to help in better management of existing zoos and facilitate creation of better zoos in the country in future and is a useful publication for all the stakeholders. Earlier to the launch function, the 27th meeting of the Central Zoo Authority, a statutory body of the Ministry, was held under the Chairmanship of Shri Javadekar here today.

In a slum hut by the international airport, Abdul’s parents came to a decision with an uncharacteristic economy of words. The father, a sick man, would wait inside the trash-strewn, tin-roofed shack where the family of eleven resided.
