Correct Answer: 1, 2 and 3. ● The Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 was enacted for protection of plants and animal species. ● It has six schedules which give varying degrees of protection. Schedule I provides absolute protection - offences under these are prescribed the highest penalties. Species listed in Schedule III and Schedule IV are also protected, but the penalties are much lower. Schedule V includes the animals which may be hunted. The specified endemic plants in Schedule VI are prohibited from cultivation and planting. ● Gharial, Indian wild ass and Wild buffalo come under schedule-I of the act and hence these animals cannot be hunted by any person except under some provisions provided by law. https://envfor.nic.in/legis/wildlife/wildlife2s1.html
