The Proposed Wildife Act, 2008
I have read with utter shock the proposed Wildlife Act, 2008 Bill which is to be tabled by the government in parliament this November.
The Bill seeks to legitimize, the otherwise illegal powers that have, hitherto, purportedly been exercised by the Wildlife Division.
More shocking, are the proposed provisions to give powers to the Director of Wildlife to grant grazing permits to villagers who normally graze their cattle in game controlled areas.
