Zoos, safaris will help protect forests, govt tells SC
The Indian government has assured the Supreme Court that amendments to the Forest (Conservation) Act will not affect the definition of forests or dilute conservation efforts. The response came after petitions challenged the amendments, which include provisions for zoos and safaris in forests. The Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change stated that these activities would be located in degraded forest areas and would raise awareness of conservation and provide livelihood opportunities for local communities. The court will hear the matter on 19 February.
