Wildlife (Protection) Amendment Act, 2022	2022	This amendment to the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, aims to enhance protection for wild animals and plants, regulate international trade in endangered species, and rationalize the schedules of the Act. It implements the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) by introducing new provisions for the management of species listed in CITES appendices.	Strengthens legal provisions against wildlife crime, enhances protection for a wider range of species by rationalizing schedules, and streamlines the process for managing captive animals and trophies. It also empowers the Central Government to designate a management authority for CITES, improving India's compliance with international conservation commitments, directly impacting the protection of species within their natural habitats by reducing illegal trade pressures.
