The important  steps  taken  by  the  Government  to  ensure  protection  of  these species include:
- i. Legal protection has been provided to wild animals against hunting and  commercial  exploitation  under  the  provisions  of  the  Wild  Life (Protection) Act, 1972.
- ii. Protected  Areas,  viz.,  National  Parks,  Sanctuaries,  Conservation Reserves  and  Community  Reserves  covering  important  wildlife habitats have been created all over the country under the provisions of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 to conserve wild animals and their habitats.
- iii. Special programmes like 'Project Tiger' and 'Project Elephant' have been launched for conservation of these endangered species  and their habitats.
- iv. A specific  component of 'Recovery programmes for saving critically endangered species and habitats' is provided in the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of 'Integrated Development of Wildlife Habitats' for  focused  conservation  action  on  selected  critically  endangered species.
- v. In addition to provision of stringent punishment for the offenders, the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 also provides for forfeiture of any equipment,  vehicle  or  weapon  that  is  used  for  committing  wildlife offence(s).
- vi. Financial  and  technical  assistance  is  provided  to  the  State/  Union Territory  Governments  under  the  Centrally  Sponsored  Schemes  for providing better protection to wildlife including endangered species and improvement of its habitat.

- (c) and (d) During the last  two  years,  about  137  cases  of  Turtles  and  Snakes  seizures have been reported to Wildlife Crime Control  Bureau by various agencies in the  country.  The  details  of  such  cases  are  at Annexure-2. Estimation  of worth of the seized articles is not done as there is no market value attributed for  the  such  wildlife  articles  in  the  country.  The    respective  State/Union Territory Governments have been mandated with taking action  against the offenders  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  Wild  Life  (Protection) Act, 1972.
