Abstract: Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 plays a significant role in maintaining environmental balance and conserving biodiversity in India. The Act was enacted with the objective of protecting wild animals, birds, plants, and their natural habitats from exploitation and extinction. The present study titled “A Legal Critical Analysis of Wildlife Protection Act towards the Environmental System in India” aims to critically examine the legal effectiveness of the Act, its contribution to environmental protection, and the challenges faced in its implementation. The research focuses on the major provisions of the Act, important amendments, judicial interpretations, and governmental policies related to wildlife conservation.

The study highlights that the Wildlife Protection Act has contributed substantially to the establishment of national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and protected areas, thereby supporting ecological balance and sustainable environmental development. However, issues such as illegal hunting, deforestation, habitat destruction, human-wildlife conflict, and weak enforcement mechanisms continue to hinder its effective implementation. The research further analyzes the need for stronger legal frameworks and improved administrative measures to address emerging environmental concerns. It concludes that effective implementation of the Act, public awareness, community participation, and stricter enforcement of environmental laws are essential for ensuring long-term wildlife conservation and environmental sustainability in India. This how under this research I clearly defined my work toward the wildlife deal with a environment.
