Rajya Sabha MP and Congress leader Jairam Ramesh questioned recently passed Wildlife (Protection) Amendment Bill in the ongoing Winter Session of the Parliament on December 8. He raised several questions to Union Minister of Environment Bhupendra Yadav. The Wildlife (Protection) Amendment Bill, 2021, which had undergone scrutiny by a parliamentary panel, seeks to conserve and protect wildlife through better management of protected areas and rationalise schedules which list out species under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
