Centre Notifies Captive Elephant Transfer Rules
Context
The Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has notified new rules for the transfer of captive elephants.
The new Rules
- For initiating transfer of elephants from one state to another, the chief wildlife warden (CWW) of the state, where the elephant is being transferred, has to be notified.
- S/he, would, in turn, forward the application to the CWW of the state from where the animal is being transferred.
- The transfer, according to the new rules, would be permitted if the donor is no longer capable of taking care of the captive elephant. For a transfer to be allowed, the genetic profile of the elephant has to be entered into an MoEFCC application, electronically.
