MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENT AND FORESTS (SHRI T.R. BAALU)
(a)&(b)The book published by World Wide Fund for Nature-India has listed 82 National Parks and
Sanctuaries where the management is not up to the mark. The list is at Annexure I The list of 18
poorly managed Zoos is at Annexure II. The main reason for management of National Parks and
Sanctuaries not being up to the mark is due to lack of staff for enforcement and non-availability
of funds on time for operational costs. In the case of zoos, lack of space further compounds the
problem.
(c) Population estimates in respect of tiger, leopard, elephant, lion & rhino for various
states are at Annexure III. National Park/Sanctuary-wise details of population estimation are not
maintained at the level of Central Government. Rise or decline in the population is basically
site specific and depend on various factors including habitat conditions, biotic factors, natural
calamities and poaching.
(d) The assistance provided for development and maintenance of National Parks and Sanctuaries
under various Centrally Sponsored Schemes during the last five years is at Annexure IV.
