Majuli, Assam: Aiming to strengthen wildlife conservation efforts, the Majuli Forest Division hosted a one-day workshop focused on the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, and its recent amendments.

The event, held on December 14 at Sri Sri Madhavdev Krishti Kendra in Khunachuk, sought to enhance the legal proficiency of forest personnel in tackling wildlife-related crimes.

Organised by the Divisional Forest Office (Territorial), Majuli, in collaboration with the biodiversity organisation Aaranyak, the workshop drew participation from 35 forest officials, including Rangers, Deputy Rangers, Foresters, and Forest Guards.

The training covered key legislative frameworks, such as the Wildlife Protection Act (amended and effective from August 1, 2023), the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (effective July 1, 2024).

Officials were trained in wildlife crime investigation, filing legal complaints, and drafting critical documents like seizure lists and arrest memos.

Delivering the inaugural address, Divisional Forest Officer Joy Ram Baruah underscored the importance of staying updated on evolving laws.

He highlighted Majuli’s unique ecological significance as the world’s largest river island and a sanctuary for endemic and migratory birds, as well as stray wildlife, including the one-horned rhinoceros.

“Majuli’s forest staff must rise to the challenge of protecting its rich biodiversity. Regular legal training is essential for effectively addressing wildlife crimes,” Baruah said.

Senior Law Consultant and Gauhati High Court Advocate Ajoy Kumar Das, the workshop’s resource person, provided a detailed overview of the Wildlife Protection Act and its amendments.

His sessions included practical insights into handling live animals, particularly exotic species, and navigating legal procedures.

The interactive format encouraged participants to discuss field challenges and share best practices.

The workshop concluded with a vote of thanks from Garamur Range Forest Officer Abhijeet Doley.

This initiative represents a pivotal effort to empower Majuli’s forest officials with essential legal expertise, reinforcing their ability to protect the region’s natural heritage and crack down on wildlife crimes.
