With four critically endangered species being at the brink of extinction Great Indian Bustard (GIB), Snow Leopard, Himalayan Brown Bear and Indian Wolves (as also the Bengal and the Lesser Florican), the Central authorities have woken up to initiate action in the states housing these species. Recently, wildlife officials and experts submitted their recommendations to the standing committee of National Board of Wildlife (NBW) to save the critically endangered species from extinction. This comes after the Supreme Court asked both the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) and the NBW to formulate an effective policy to save the four species.
