Tamil Nadu government reconstitutes State Board for Wildlife
The earlier board was reconstituted in April 2022, and the latest exercise follows a request from the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests and Chief Wildlife Warden after the tenure of its non-official members expired.
The Tamil Nadu government has reconstituted the State Board for Wildlife, with Chief Minister C. Joseph Stalin assuming the role of chairperson. The board, which advises the state government on protected areas, wildlife conservation policies, and tribal community needs, includes members from various backgrounds such as non-governmental organisations, conservationists, biologists, and environmentalists.
The tenure of non-official members is set to be two years, and the board's functions encompass biodiversity conservation, greening projects, and responding to climate change.
